We all are aware of the "work" done by AID. But very few are aware of the work done by organizations such as Ekal Vidyalaya, which are working hard day and night to eradicate illiteracy from India, without any fanfare or fame.
Within last 10-15 years they have set up nearly 15,000 schools and they are educating 500,000 children. Yes, it is half a million children! They plan to expand and have 100,000 schools. I don't think organizations such as AID and ASHA can even dream of these kinds of numbers.
We all want to make ASHA & AID go away one way or another. However stopping contributions to ASHA & AID is not the only way to do that. To effectively finish them we have to support organizations that are doing real work of educating Bharat.
Check out two videos of Ekal Vidyalaya work. I will upload more soon. Remember, to make a line smaller, we have an option to draw a bigger line too <!--emo&--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
