Hello everyone!
I joined Asha a couple of months back. As a part of Asha, we organize fund raising events and use them to support NGOs in India. These NGOs do really amazing work in providing education opportunities to the socially and economically backward classes 😀 (You can check out more on our website or ask me).
I am planning to run 5k to raise funds and awareness for the work we do. I sometimes feel very helpless when I watch news, or think about the terrible conditions people live in and the problems they face. I really believe this run and the money we raise through it, creates a *meaningful* change. To give you an estimate:
$5 (~ coffee) can support the daily needs of an orphan for a week,
$10 can buy books for a kid for a year and,
$20 can fund a kid’s education for a month.
So, even if you donate a little amount, it will definitely help someone significantly! ^_^
Thank you 😀
