In the past academic year,
2013-2014, the School Interact Club raised funds through numerous fundraisers
such as Burger sales and the Annual Christmas Carnival, for an organization
called Habitat
for Humanity India. Together, Pathways and Habitat for Humanity
India, adopted the project of renovating one school in the disaster struck area
of Uttrakhand that had been destroyed due to the flash floods in 2013. An
amount of Rs. 2,50,000/- was donated for the reconstruction of a school in
Saindul, Uttrakhand from the funds raised. The construction and renovation of
the Saindul school has started and is on track. The material has been purchased
for the school construction and the excavation and foundation work is in
progress.
We would like to thank everyone
who worked tirelessly to help raise funds for this project. We would also like
to specially thank all the parents who contributed enthusiastically to the
Christmas Carnival and supported in raising funds for this noble cause. We will
soon have more updates as the construction progresses. Together, the Pathways community managed to
help establish a school and soon many children will be studying there and
reaping it’s benefits. A very heartfelt thank you to everyone who made this
project a success.
