iated with schooling, such as books and transport. Private schools enrol children from families that can afford to pay and fail to reach the poorest. So, we are organizing fully supported educational centers in each required area of backward rural areas so that children of poor families can also get their basic education free of cost. Our volunteers visit various rural areas and meet poor families to make them aware of the power of education. They described to them how an education of their children can change their life. Education is one thing no one can take away from you.Education is both the means as well as the end to a better life; means, because it empowers an individual to earn his/her livelihood and the end because it increases one's awareness on a range of issues – from healthcare to appropriate social behavior to understanding one's rights, and in the process evolve as a better citizen.

“Going to school — picking an apple. Getting an education — eating it.”
