Make a difference through Work An Hour for Education

[Guest guest]

Dear vediculture group members,

 

I am emailing you to tell you how you can work an hour to make a lasting

difference in the lives of underprivileged children in India.

 

Asha for Education's "Work An Hour" is an international event where

people symbolically work an hour on August 15, India's Independence Day,

to educate children. They do this by donating an hour's worth, or more,

of their salary, anytime between now and September 5, which is

celebrated in India as Teacher's Day.

 

All the funds raised from this event will be directed to four worthy

projects (listed below) from different corners of India. From poor

farmers in Andhra Pradesh to teenage girls in Rajasthan,

these projects will impact the lives of children in a

fundamental way and open up previously unavailable opportunities to them.

By working an hour, you can help them realize their dreams.

 

This is the fifth consecutive year for Work An Hour, or WAH as it is

popularly known.

 

A personal note: Dear group owner, Please post this message on your

and help in publisizing this event. Thanks.
