This marathon, you can support the cause of education by running for Ashwini Charitable Trust (ACT). ACT is an NGO which works for education and empowerment of children in the urban slums of Bangalore.
Why should you run for Ashwini?
Shashikala, one of ACT's supported children is going to 3rd year Bachelor of Computer Application in June 2009. In her fourth semester exam she stood 2nd in her class with an aggregate of 92% and next year would like to beat the boy who stood 1st. But this can only happen if we can pay her fees of Rs.44,000 at the St.Joseph’s Arts and Science College. We wish to collect the fees of Shashikala and 99 others of the Ashwini Charitable Trust(ACT).
By running for Ashwini, you can help Shashikala and the 99 other kids take a step closer to become the first generation literates in their families.
You can raise funds for paying the fees of the 100 children by asking people to pledge for the cause you support.
