Educational commitment
The school we built or helped with the contributions received by friends, are located from 5 to 25 Km from the monastery, and were chosen because they were in very poor conditions (see pictures below). The relationship with the teachers and the students (and consequently with the people of those areas) is very warm, with the boys and girls urging the teachers to invite us more often to their premises. And when we find some time and go to see them they are really very happy to spend some time wth us; yes, even to the point of making us dance with them!

Another source of satisfaction is that, once the schools were built, the Board of Education granted them the status of 'government institution'; it means, at least, that the teachers are now paid by the government.

The school at Ramkrishnapur, before and now

Besides the construction-effort, we help hundreds of poor students to pay their school-fees and to buy books and stationaries. At present we are trying
to endow the college with a proper library and the necessary instruments for the science section.
Planes for the future? Well, our list of possible new schools is a pretty long one. Were you interested in sharing our commitment for education, do not miss visiting the Donations page. Thank you.
