Thank you so much

It has been 2 days since the run and we are still over-whelmed with the response we have got.

180 runners and contributions from so many people that helped us educate the 100 odd children for the next one year -- Totally outstanding.

Thank you so much for believing in us and helping us reach out to those little children.

We invite you to our Resource Center on the coming Saturday (6th June) at 4pm for a small celebration.
