ASHA is a wonderful community of people who are doing their bit to change the world. By giving the most important ingredient to us humans - HOPE. This is achieved by educating children belonging to our imbalanced society's weaker sections. Kudos to the full and part-time dedicated ASHA volunteers!
I enjoy running (in a slow and boring-to-all-others fashion)... Running, for me, is one path. As we all know, there are many, many paths to self-realization, enlightenment, and so on; the invariant being that all are arduous. Running is a way in which many of us like minded people try and push ourselves forward.
To add some "real" down-to-earth meaning to my running efforts, I'd like to do my best to raise funds for ASHA, which of course, uses these funds to educate underprivileged children, giving them - and us! - Hope.
I know that you would like to help out; one small way is to contribute whatever you can. Here's my proposal: am training for a long ultra run event - a 100 miles, no less! - to be held on 05 and 06 Oct 2019 (the EcoUltra on the outskirts of Bangalore). For every mile I cover, please donate some amount. I suggest slabs of Rs. 10/- per mile upwards, but of course, I leave the decision completely to you.
My personal goal: to raise Rs. 200,000 or more towards this.
