Girl's education- An issue close to my heart!!!
This blog is not written with the goal of glorifying my 'giving' ways or my charitable attitude :)
I am sharing the details of CARE India, in case someone else wants to donate to this cause related to the girl child's education. This is my small attempt to atleast make a difference to one life!!!! Well..I am hoping it would.
The CARE India folks had approached me for their program named 'Udaan' which was for educating school drop outs. But the donation amount expected was way too high for me to afford. For middle class, working folks like us, donations need to come out of our monthly salary. So I did opt for the smaller donation amount which would fund a girl child's educational expenses for a year. That's what I could afford. Something better than nothing!!!
About CARE India- A synopsis taken from their mail to me!

About Udaan
Udaan, it's a learning programme designed for girls in the age group of 10-14 years who have either dropped out of school or never been to school. This model of teaching has enabled close to 1,000 girls complete their primary education in the past decade.

Am sure there are more ways in which we can help social causes. My next attempt will be to volunteer some hours towards such worthy causes. Hoping for that to happen soon...
Until my next musing :)
