Thursday Email – If Your Contribution Brightened A Child’s Life, Would You Consider A Small Donation? :)

It takes years of sowing and watering, before we can see the bloom and harvest! While we have no trees to show, we do have many little plants sprouting out beautifully.

This little achievement was such a learning experience for our students. They were so proud of their own capabilities; they now call themselves superheroes and are waiting to spot problems and solve them.

That said, after our last week’s email, we were touched by the contributions that came in with such supportive accompanying messages. One of our friends, Anuska Varma, has been a long time supporter of KnowYourStar since its inception, when our work was known only to a handful of people.

We have been seeing immense potential in each and every kid, and they have come such a long way in the last year. We cannot wait to see them grow, solve more problems, and build stronger dreams! We invite you to be a part of this journey by making a donation, and brightening many young and deserving minds. 🙂
