My story

 
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page which has been created to raise funds for "Asha for Education" . It gives me immense pleasure to be able to contribute in my own way to this wonderful charity through the challenge of completing the Athens marathon on November 08 '09 under 03:45 (PB 04:11). 

About ASHA

Asha for Education is a non-profit, secular and voluntary organisation dedicated to socio-economic change in India through education. Its mission is to address poverty by enabling India's poorest children to gain access to quality education. Asha has raised more than $4 million to date and currently supports 385 projects across India. Asha is merely a group of professionals and students who are passionate about helping marginalised children and their communities.

The defining feature of Asha is its 'no-overheads' policy - we work on a zero organisational cost model and all administrative expenses are met by the core volunteers. 100% of your donations will be sent to the projects in India and directly benefit the children we support.

Asha works in close partnerships with development organisations who work at grassroots-levels, understand local issues and run the various educational projects in India . These projects provide schooling and basic housing facilities to children from extremely impoverished backgrounds - they include orphans, children of prostitutes, bonded labourers and marginal farmers. The formal education programme is integrated with community programs where possible, to promote women's empowerment, vocational training, organic farming and employment for people with disabilities.

This is a huge challenge of a lifetime for me, all in a good cause and now gives me time to raise lots of donations, do some other fundraising events. Please support me on this by donating even the smallest amount  ... every penny counts.

If you are interested in donating more we would appreciate if you can please forward this to each and every person in your email address book and urge them to join the cause. I truly believe that if word spreads, we can all make this fundraiser an outstanding success.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Asha for Education will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

If anyone has trouble donating online or wants to get in touch with me directly please feel free to mail prkgoud@yahoo.com

Together, let us give these children the opportunity to 'learn' and build a brighter future for themselves! They need our help. Many thanks for your support.
