Sponsor Radhika's "Run for a dream" - a dream to make a difference

Dear Friends,

In order to support the wonderful opportunities that Lend A Hand India seeks to provide for the young boys and girls in India, I have decided to run the Wineglass Marathon. This marathon will help gain funding for their vocational training programs and career counseling to hundreds of deserving poor communities in India, generating employment opportunities.

My goal is to generate a total of $2600 for the 26-mile run, so ANY amount will help! Your support will be greatly appreciated.

Here are some examples of what your donation will do:
- $100 pays for the tuition fee of two boys / girls for a vocational training program
- $400 pays the one-year salary of a trainer at the school
- $1500 pays to purchase a PC and internet facility for a high school
- $4000 pays for the one year of operating cost of a batch of students for training programs (includes teacher's salaries, consumables, coordination, and monitoring) or meets the capital cost of launching a vocational training center at a high school.

You can contribute by sponsoring me online through PayPal (click on the button below - no PayPal account required) or by check payable to "Lend-A-Hand India" on the address below. All the contributions made by you are tax-exempt.

Please note that most corporations will match your donation! You can find the appropriate forms by going to your company's philanthropy site. For an illutrative list of such companies, please click here. The EIN for Lend-A-Hand India is 90-0150814. If you need assistance, please contact me at radhikarai@gmail.com.
