Dear Donors,
Greetings for the holidays and the end of the year.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a very happy
New Year in advance as we look back at our
crowdfunding journey through GlobalGiving for the
past 8 years.
We started fundraising in GlobalGiving in 2013,
and our first donation was made on September 3rd,
2013! We have had a fabulous dream run of
fundraising for the past 8 years raising more than
US$ 1.1 million, raising funds for two full-time projects,
and 2 microprojects (which got fully funded).
With your support and contributions, we had been
able to make wonderful transformations in the lives
of thousands of Indian rural children by offering them
quality English medium education where it is not
available or affordable.
Several of our students have passed out of Isha Vidhya
and are pursuing higher education as well as gainfully
employed in companies. This has all been possible
because of your unrelenting support!
We have procured critical infrastructre needed for the
schools like learning aids, school buses, sports
equipment, computers, etc., as well as built classrooms and
other necessary structures like water tanks and toilets.
Our student education sponsorship has been a huge
success along with the subsidies for noon meal and
transportation. Noon meal and transportation are two
very important reasons for the students and parents
to stay motivated on children's education.
We have participated over the course of years in
several of GlobalGiving's campaigns and contests,
and have had the honours of being winners and
finishing in the top ranks. We won a photo contest
in an year, and also got recognized as a top ranking
project in GlobalGiving in an year.
We would like to assure you that the donations that
you have made have been put to the intended
purposes, and will be in the future too. We thank you
for all that you have done for our project.
From my side personally, and from the entire
Isha Vidhya team, we once again wish you a
great holiday session and a very happy New Year 2022!
Thanks & Best Regards.
Venkat Ramakrishnan.
