We are pleased to announce that the solar installation at the Anjana Vidyakendra School is now complete. The school not only has as a fully functioning computer lab, but it now has classroom and outdoor lighting as well!
One can only imagine the impact this will have on the school children and their learning ability.
Dr. Channa Raju, founder of the Anjana School, said the following:
“Our first batch of 10th grade children will be taking board examinations in March and in order to get them ready, we are providing them with additional coaching. Since these children will not be able to prepare at home due to power shutdown on all days between 6 and 9 PM, we conduct night classes and I personally teach them math and science. This has been made possible only because of the availability of lights in our classrooms and the library, though the entire region is immersed in darkness. You and other members of Friends Unite will be happy to know that all installations are working and are being used every day effectively.”
As we’ve said before, access to energy is critical to economic and educational empowerment. The hard work and support of many will provide these children in India the tools to learn and help their communities for decades to come.
Continue Spreading the Word!
Just this morning (12/16/2011), we received 35 pen-pal letters from the Anjana School children addressed to a group of enthusiastic Girl Scouts in Raleigh, North Carolina. This is just the first step in creating lasting global connections that will hopefully benefit everyone.
That’s what Friends Unite is about.
Creating Connections and Helping Promote Issues related to Global Health and Education in a Sustainable Manner.
Although the solar installation is complete, the journey to advance important global issues in these areas is far from over.
Thank you for caring enough about the education of the world’s future leaders to give them the tools they need to succeed.
