As a student in one of the most prestigious schools in India, it has taught me to never take my education for granted, but it has also opened up my mind to truly believe that the crux to all of our world's problems is - education. Education, in my opinion, is a tool that can change the ideology of a backward society that can lead to *real* progress. That is why I have decided to work with the NGO - REACH, whose central premise is helping India progress, by funding the education of children from the 6th grade up till college, so that they are the ones who decide how the place that they come from can progress. Therefore, I request you to make any small contribution you deem fit towards changing the life of a young, less-privileged individual, and will be giving him/her opportunities that he/she could never dream of.
