Feb 2009: 10 cents drive and Mahadarshan in action...

In Februrary of 2009, 3 schools were selected in the Southern Indian town of Vellore to participate in a new and unique kind of competition.  Unlike the type of learning the children are used to, these children were asked to come up with creative ways to make their community a better place to live in. The children in the orphanage were asked to write an essay on how to productively use a 1000 dollar gift to their school to make it a better place.

The pictures and videos in this blog will explain the rest. The more we get involved with these children, the more committed I am to continue to do my part to work with these beautiful young children to think beyond what they regularly learn in their curriculum. Some of the gifts which were given out as prizes comes from the 10 cents.  Many parents contributed, acknowledging the hard work their children have put in their respective classes in the USA.

Please post your comments

Sincerely

Darshana
