Gyan Putra - Support for School Children

Dear members, dear schoolsponsors, dear friends of the association,

Now the 17 year old buses with 55 seats will be replaced. Their maintenance costs are too high and make the use too expensive. It is our good luck that just right now one medical college in Jodhpur shuts, so they offer us two buses built in 2010. They are in a relatively good shape and condition. Our school can buy them at a low price. These two buses have 44 seats each, so they are smaller and thus easier to drive on the challenging rural roads in this area, which are full of thorny trees, bushes and holes. With our school sponsorships and other donations, these Now the organizers of our school in Jadan are planning the new school year that starts in July.

Dear members, dear school sponsors, dear friends of the association,

at the end of the year, we would like to report about the school.
At the moment 658 pupils visit the school, 285 girls and 400 boys.
33 new pupils were admitted to the Gyan Putra scheme. All in all, the scheme provides for 170 girls and 80 boys this school year.

Dear members, sponsors and friends of our Society,

Maybe you have been waiting for news of our school in Jadan – here they come:

In January 2014 I travelled to India, and of course, I took the opportunity for a tour of our school during school hours. Once again I noticed how well the donations were used.

Currently 1350 students attend the school. Due to cost savings, which are urgently needed, no new students can be included in the next two years. To allow as many children continue to visit the school, some of the costs have been shifted to the families who are able to afford this.

School buses pick up the external students from the currently 12 surrounding villages and bring them back home.
