Our organization has started a program in India, raising funds to be able to donate to 200 children from the poorest of the poor. We collaborate with the project “Free School Under The Bridge” founded by Rajesh Kumar Sharma e Laxmi Chandra (donations coordinator).
Latest news
- On May 2015 we donated to the children of Free School Under The Bridge cookies and sweets for 4 days
- On June 2015 we started to study a new way to continue to help the children.
One day in 2008 shopkeeper Rajesh Kumar Sharma spotted children playing in the dirt as he walked to the train station.
Their families were too poor to send them to school or the children had no ID card or birth certification, so they are out of government shemes.
Together with Laxmi Chandra, a post graduate science teacher, Rajesh decided to teach the children the basics in reading and writing, maths, science, geography, Hindi and English.
Starting with two children 7 years ago, Rajesh and Laxmi has come a long way.
The school under the bridge in Shakarpur now has over 200 children between the ages 3 and 16.
“Free School Under The Bridge” is the only way for these children to receive an education, to learn and to improve themselves. It is run only by volunteers.
Through named and unnamed donors and volunteers the situation for the children turns into better.
