All history and heritage lovers, enthusiasts who want their culture to be preserved can contribute to this great idea in following ways: Identify and intimate us through emails, mails or phone about the temples and other heritage Buildings which are in ruins. Photographs, geographical location with road maps would be ideal. This would help us in creating a database. Generate interest in like minded youth and develop groups who can volunteer in our cleaning and reconstruction activities. Inform us about any other group you know similar to this, their work and contact details. We would be glad to publicize their work too through our forum and website. Spare some regular amount every month for this cause Write and make all friends, philanthropists and wealthy living in foreign shores to know about REACH and make them also share our project costs and build up awareness about Indian cultural sites to their foreign counterparts Encourage theme tourism and help friends visit Tamilnadu with a new perspective through REACH Foundation.
