This Diwali, light the 'diya' of hope in a child's life

Dear Asha Patron, On a day filled with joy and happiness for most of us, let us take a moment to remember the not so fortunate, those who struggle to get access to even the most basic education. If finding qualified science teachers is hard in rural Karnataka, finding a school with a functional science laboratory is even harder. The Asha Boston supported Swami Vivekananda Youth Movement - Mobile Science Van project is a traveling laboratory which supports government schools with the necessary staff, raw materials and equipment to demonstrate and facilitate experiential learning of Science. Celebrate Diwali with us by contributing a single hour's worth of your earnings towards Asha's Work-an-Hour campaign. Help us expand the reach of our Mobile Science Van initiative to even more schools.                                                                                      For more info, please visit Asha for Education, Boston/MIT Chapter Asha for Education worldwide
