Story

Namaskar mate! and thanks for having a look at this fund raising campaign!

Namaskar (from Sanskrit) means I greet the Divinity within you, with the force of my mind and the pureness of my  heart.

Ananda Marga is a spiritual and social service organization (and is not a religion) founded in 1955 in India. We are located in more than 180 countries, and most people call us “The orange monks” because Didis (nuns) and Dadas (monk) we wear all orange.

This fundraising page is for Ananda Marga Paraguay www.anandamargapy.org
In the UK you can find us at www.anandamarga.co.uk, we are registered charity 1057616.

In other words, what we do is social work, we teach yoga and meditation. You may also have seen us in social emergencies such as Haiti, Chile, and this kind of disaster reliefs. We also teach Neo-Humanism education in our private schools where most of them are poor children. Normally, we teach Yoga and meditation to children before they start the daily classes of reading, arts, math and so on.

You may know our Didi and Dadas:
-Didi Sutanuka
-Dada Ratnananda
-Dada Japesh
-Dada Paradevananda

We are now fundraising for children in Paraguay, a landlocked country in South America where most families live with about 1 pound a day. We have one kindergarden by the river (17 children), other in an agricultural market (43 children) and a high school in a rural area (more than 300 children).

In the biggest school that is located in a rural area, now there's a need of a new classroom for about 40 children, and new bathroom. We start small with about 30 children and we are now about 360. So small kids cannot get into the room as confy as they should. In that school, we give meditation classes on tuesdays and thursdays, and during those days, the children that are occupying that classroom, they need to go out and study down a tree. So that's why we are fundraising for them.

Thanks for your interest and do not to forget to say "Hola!" to children in Paraguay!
