Hi Joyce,
I just wanted to send you a note to say thanks for the initial seed money from Givology to get our library started at Bajipura in India. We recently ran a half marathon in Chandigarh, and we were able to raise an additional $1,000 for our library project here and at Madhi high school. We also began a new test series this week for working with Microsoft and Pratham Books to provide some books on DVD, so that students can have books read to them in their own homes. We can also put many books on 1 disc, for about the price of 1 book, so it seems to be a cost effective program that could have a greater reach. The fellows next year will continue researching the program.
I posted a blog to say thank you for all those that contributed, and Givology was a big part of getting the project going in the first place.
Thanks!
Drew
