Dear Donors
I am Pandiarajan, Volunteer of Isha, reaching out to you to seek your support for Isha Vidhya – a rural education initiative of Isha Foundation(www.ishavidhya.org),with which I am associated as a volunteer.
I am running Full Maratho(42Km) in support of IshaVidhya on Sunday17thJan2016 in the Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon and reaching out to you to raise funds for this cause.
In 2014, several volunteers of Isha participated in the various Marathons across many cities and raised over INR 18.6 million (over USD 300,000). This amount was used to support scholarships of 300 children and build 25 new classrooms across the 9 Isha Vidhya schools.These 25 classrooms will educate 1000 children every year.
In the current year, Isha Vidhya requires to build 47 classrooms, provide for scholarships and also the 40 Government schools that have been adopted. Isha Vidhya schools are run largely by volunteers and hence cost of fund raising is very low (<2%).Every rupee you donate will be put to effective use.
