A seed is sown...
'Educate-A-Child' is a concept that stems from our belief that every child be given a fair chance for going through that wonderful process that enriches our life - Education. To this effect, our group has come together to do our bit towards creating that possibility in as many lives as we can...
To this effect, we have decided to contribute an amount not less than 1% of our salaries to a fund that will be channeled towards the education of a deserving candidate. Currently, we are taking those initial steps, tiny it may be, that will lead us towards the vision we are working towards - a vision that envisages a world where every child is armed with at least the primary level of education, enabling him to contribute to the society.
We have initiated the process of legalizing this NGO; what has also been done is the establishment of a process for the collection of funds and allocation of funds (I must admit that this process is a temporary fix until we have the NGO up and running legally).
For all those interested to hold hands with us in this journey, we urge you to get in touch with us through this blog. You can also direct your enquiries to sundar.karna@gmail.com – Shanmugam will be the first point of contact for all your enquiries and suggestions. With the belief that we can certainly make a difference, we take off on this journey…
