The right to education is a fundamental right in our country. However, there are many children in rural India who cannot exercise this right as they have either very poor access or no access to good schools. If you are reading this you are among the most fortunate people in this country. There are many others who deserve this good fortune but do not have the means for it. For many years, Isha Vidhya has been setting up schools in rural Tamilnadu & Andhra Pradesh to provide access to good quality education for children from poor households. Isha Vidhya currently runs 9 schools in Tamil Nadu & Andhra Pradesh. The schools presently have 5820 children, with over 60% of children supported through scholarships while the rest pay a nominal fee. 2014-15 marks a very important milestone for Isha Vidhya schools as the first batch of students will be appearing for Class X examination. The current year is also very critical as the schools need to complete 47 more class rooms and Science Labs for Class XI and XII. This will enable the children continue their studies without compromising on the quality. I am running the SCMM half marathon 2015 to raise money from donors to educate these poor children. For me this is not just another run to set a new timing record, but a run that can permanently secure a child's future. I appeal to you to make a small contribution that can make a big difference to the life of a child, who in turn can grow up to be a successful and joyful human being.
