Concert of Bollywood songs will
help raise money for ‘classrooms
Concert slated for May 18
at St. Maria Goretti
Church in Laflin.
Samir Date and Dipalee So-
maiya are sure to charm a lo-
cal audience when they per-
form Bollywood songs on May
18, but concert organizers
hope the audience will be
charmed even more by the
yidea of helping children.
Committee member Nirma-
la Nirmul of Mountain Top
said the children who need
help live in remote areas of
rural India, where the non-
profit Ekal Vidyalaya seeks to
establish “classrooms” that
| can be supported through
sponsors who donate $365 per
| year.
“What we are really looking
for is sponsorship of a
school,” Nirmul said.
The “classrooms” are held
in whatever accommodations
are available, whether in a
building, a makeshift shelter
or under a tree. Instructors,
who are trained through the
Ekal Vidyalaya organization,
teach basic reading and writ-
ing skills along with health
and hygiene, working toward
empowering the people of a
village and improving their
economy.
The organization’s website
‘quotes Swami Vivekananda,
who said, “If a poor child can-
not come to education, educa-
tion must go to him” and cites
a goal of helping 100,000 vil-
lages by 2015.
