Join Aarya's walk supporting VGKK Tribal School

I'm Aarya, aged 17-years from the UK, aiming to support the Vivekananda Kendra Tribal School in B R Hills, Karnataka, India. This school is dedicated to empowering tribal children and needs crucial educational materials.

After consulting with the school’s head teacher, I've organized a fundraiser to assist with these needs. Living in the UK, I have been lucky enough to receive a comprehensive education throughout my life, which has provided me with opportunities that I am so grateful for. However, I know this is not the case for many children, especially those living in tribal communities in parts of India. Helping raise funds for this charity will continue the amazing work they have been doing, providing these children, and their families, with a more promising future.

The Vivekananda Girijana Kalyana Kendra is a charity that supports children in tribal communities to help them receive education and healthcare, and aids community development. The charity has a day school, a residential school, and a college through which it provides education not only on class subjects but also on developing skills (www.vgkk.in).

My Personal Challenge

On 30th December, I will undertake a 25 km walk from Kollegal, Karnataka in India. The school is located 30 km from Kollegal, where my grandparents live. I have invited my extended family, friends, and anyone who believes in this cause to join me in person or in spirit for this journey.

Your Impact

Your contributions will provide:

- Essential learning resources such as paper, notebooks, and pens.

- Stationery for everyday educational activities.

- Art supplies to foster creativity and expression.

Our Goal

We aim to raise £250, to help support the educational journey of these children.

Join Our Cause

Whether you're walking with me, donating, or spreading the word, every form of support is valuable.

I really appreciate any kind support you wish to extend towards this cause with me.

Thank you

Aarya
