This will be the 8th year that I will be running the Mumbai Marathon and raising funds for Isha Vidhya. This year is little different, the run may or may not happen, but the child must go to school.
Initially it was only about the pandemic, but gradually we saw the onset of distressing; workers who had served us since ages, were in great jeopardy. And, the children were the worst affected. When the family is struggling to get a day's meal, asking to send their kids to school will be a joke.
We need to help these kids with scholarships until they have a reliable source of income. So, here is my humble appeal to give our love & support to these kids, and make them feel that they have someone standing by their sides in these times of pain.
"With best wishes."
