Thank you so much for stopping by the Work An Hour 2011 blog! We're back this year with 20 new amazing projects showcasing how difficulties come in the way of every project and what we can do to help them overcome these challenges. We hereby extend an open invite to all Asha volunteers to be a part of this movement. Please spend some time to read about our projects and feel free to write to us at wah@ashanet.org
20 projects. 70 schools. 4415 children. $248230 total budget! An Hour of your time. Hope for a Lifetime Work An Hour2011 Team.
1. The kid does this primarily to support her own and her siblings' education and daily needs.
2. The principal of the school says he is proud of the kid for doing this.
But, there is no mention of support from the school.
Why can't the school give her a scholarship or a stiphend ? Are schools a profit making business or an essential service ? Should only government schools be interested in the true interests of the children ? Can a school that does not care for the wholesome interests of the kid really be called a 'school' ?
