| This project was supported by individuals here who have pledged $10/month per child, has grown from 8 children to 24. These children belong to a community of Musahars (landless farmers) in the village of Gandhinagar that PPI helped settle in 1981-82. We received a detailed report on the ashram's work from Payal Khurana from England who is working as a volunteer at the ashram. Payal is one of several volunteers from abroad who often come to help in the work that covers 15 villages and two educational institutions under the guidance of Mr. Sundrani. In April 1989, the ashram has started a non-formal education project which will serve 2500 children. |
