Our very first project was fittingly based in my mother's hometown, Shimoga. Remindingof my roots and my mother's childhood, I knew that it would be best to start there. This project is dedicated to my mother, who taught me to always be kind and respectful. She helped me realize that nothing in life comes easy; we have to work hard to get what we want.

One student shared with me that the backpack came just at the right time since her old backpack was falling apart. Another student loved the school supplies and said she was proud to be able to go to school prepared to learn. I am grateful to you for recognizing our student's achievements while helping our students whose families are in need.

MILLION SMILES

GOVERNMENT GIRLS MODEL PRIMARY SCHOOL
Only located a few minutes from my grandparent's home, the Government Girls Model Primary School was a glaring reminder that the journey to making education a basic right for all children starts in our own neighborhoods. With over 200 hundred students, the teachers were undersupplied and their only support was provided by the local temple, which donated daily meals for the students. Many of these students were children of street vendors, construction workers, and housemaids, and often never had a place to call home. They would float from town to town as their parents' jobs changed. For them, living in Basavangudi was a privilege, because, for them, education was not a necessity but a luxury.
Letter from Principal (trans.): The Government Girls High School in Basavanagudi, Bangalore would like to thank the organization, Scholarships without Borders. Neha Venkatesh, the donor came to our school on the 4th of June in 2018 and donated to students from the 1st to 7th grades. She donated 2 long notebooks, crayons, a geometry box, pens, pencils, and other school supplies to each student. The principal and the teachers thank you for your donation.
