One of the initiatives of AID Gurgaon (a branch of AID - Association for India's Development) is to find sponsorships for education of underprivileged children.
During this time of the year, they are looking for the yearly sponsorship of a few deserving students. The yearly education cost for each student (including tuition, travel, books and uniform) is about Rs 5000.
Now, it may seem a large sum for some people especially if one person has to pay it in one go.
But how about 18 people contributing Rs 5000 for a year??
This is what my group of friends (we call ourselves, Nomads) is doing. We're each contributing equally to fund a child's education for a year - doesn't make a hole in the pocket and doesn't affect people who're already donating money to other causes. If the progress is good, we hope to help this child complete her education by funding every year.
Now, if each one of us contributes this one drop, we all can make an ocean of change!
Note: If anyone wishes to sponsor a child's education (in part or whole), please leave a comment and I'll contact you.
