Running to Raise Funds for ILP Scholarship

About sixty of us have signed up to run for India Literacy Project (ILP) at the Sunfeast 2010 run happening this Sunday (May 23). This also includes about 6 scholarship students who have benefited from the ILP Scholarship Programme. While ILP needs funds for the scholarship and library projects, we are focussing on fund raising for the scholarship program through the run.

Our overall target through our collective run is Rs.3,50,000 for the scholarship program for 100 high school students (8th to 10th standard).

Whether you have registered or not, you could play a role in ensuring that children have a chance to complete their education.

All you have to do is make a donation to ILP in support of our run. No amount is small. As every km counts in a 10 k race, so does every Rupee make a difference to the lives of these children.

Attached is the ILP 2010 Fund Raising Document. It would be great if you are able to circulate this amongst friends and family to help raise money. Education is the best gift and the best investment for a nation.

May we request each one of you to commit to help raising funds for the scholarship of atleast two students. The cost per child works out to Rs 3500 per child per annum. The scholarships are based on the needs of each child. It covers: Uniforms, school fees, Note books and text books, coaching classes, shoes, geometry box, bags, examination fees, workshops, monitoring & documentation.

Donations can be made by Cash / Cheque / Bank Transfer / Credit Card. Kindly inform us by email reply of all donations that you or your friends have made in order for us to promptly receipt the same.
