A Fundraiser to send STREET KIDS to SCHOOL
Fundraising for Vibha Atlanta Dream Mile 2019
I'm pledging this year to raise $1500 for Vibha.
Two of Vibha's many supported projects are - CORP and DSS, which work in slum/under-privileged communities across Mumbai and Pune to
- provide free education, education support and nutrition to the children of low-wage workers
- up-bring the whole community by awareness and counselling
- provide the above on-site to construction worker's children
Read about my last year's visit to these project
There are many self-motivated teachers to love and educate these kids, dedicating their whole life towards this work.
But there is a serious short of funds, and that's what I and you can help.
Last year my friends and families, blessed me to raise $1000 towards this cause. Thank you for that!
About Dream Mile
The DREAM MILE is the flagship event in Vibha's continued efforts to increase awareness about the plight of underprivileged children. It was started in 1998 in Atlanta and quickly became a permanent fixture on the calendars of runners in the various cities in America. The Atlanta chapter is hosting it's 21st edition with an addition of Half-Marathon from this year.
Since 1991, Vibha has reached out to many children through 250 projects in India and 10 projects in the US. Proceeds of this event will benefit child development projects for underprivileged children in India and part of the proceeds go to the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta.
