Story

<p>As many of you know Gautam is volunteering for Akshaya Patra (TAPF - The Akshaya Patra Foundation), the largest non-government mid-day meal program in the world. TAPF is currently feeding 1.2 Million children in India, 5-6 times a week. Because of this program, children are not only getting fed, but are attending school and getting an education. The results are remarkable and can be viewed on: <a href="http://www.akshayapatra.co.uk/our-achievements">http://www.akshayapatra.co.uk/our-achievements</a>. In our view, TAPF is making a difference where it matters the most and has potential to revolutionise the furture of the world through children.<br />&nbsp;<br />So here's what we are asking of YOU:<br />&nbsp;<br />10 GBP feeds one child for a WHOLE year. So if you desire, for our wedding gift please donate whatever you think is a reasonable amount (For those who are not attending the wedding - consider the time and effort saved coming to Mumbai :)). Our goal is to raise 2500 GBP which will help fund one school (250 kids) for a WHOLE year. We are also hoping to receive some kind of matching donations from our firms, which would make a huge impact.This would be the most memorable gift and hope to leave legacy for the years to come.<br />&nbsp;<br />If you donate through Just Giving, this page will track all your donations. You can easily set it up to donate a single amount or set up a monthly payment.</p> <p><br />A heartfelt THANKS to all of you from Rachna and Gautam.</p>
