Additional YES Schools

The YES program currently includes over 30 schools, run in impoverished areas of the Himalayas. The children in these schools are given supplies (books, copy books, pens, pencils, etc.) uniforms, shoes and sweaters free of cost. There is no charge to any child for attending a YES school. However, these children are given more than an academic education. They are also inculcated with essential values, ethics and sanskaras, as well as with the priceless gifts of hope.

In our recent visit to this slum outside of Delhi, it was beautifully apparent how much change had occurred. School buildings that previously had neither light nor ventilation have been re-done with the addition of windows, fans, open doors etc. Roofed structures now hold classes that previously had been outside; thus children can now continue to attend school in the rainy season and in the cold of winter. children who used to sit in the dirt beneath a makeshift shack now sit on new mats in a brand new structure. children who had no paper or pens with which to write now have new notebooks, pens and pencils.

Additionally, children all now have uniforms as well as sweaters and shoes for the winter.

Our Gurgaon typing center now has six English typewrites, as well as Hindi typewriters. The students come in one-hour shifts to learn both typing and basic english.

We have just opened our 11th school in gurgaon; with your continued generosity we can bring education and hope to this destitute, forgotten land.
