I look forward to Mumbai Marathon every year since 2008 when I started running for the cause of rural education (www.ishavidhya.org). This has been possible thanks to the generous support from friends, relatives and well wishers like you who have been contributing spontaneously! Isha Vidhya currently runs 10 schools in Tamilnadu(TN) & Andhra Pradesh(AP), with 8,500 children (49% girls), 60% supported through scholarships. Isha is also carrying out critical interventions through GSSP (Govt School Support Program) in 26 rural government schools, benefiting over 8,000 students. Isha Vidhya students have been doing remarkably well in their board exams with 100% pass results every year and stupendous performance by a few. A few donation suggestions.... the cost of full scholarship including books, transport and mid day meal for 1 child is Rs 33000 and only scholarship per student is Rs 19000. I look forward to your support this year too. Every rupee you donate will be put to effective use.
