Thursday Email – From Impacting “1 School 50 Students” To “22 Schools 5000 Students”!
Namaste!
Last week, we gave you a sneak peek into our Know Your Star role model workbook for students. We carried our precious first prints of the first volume with us, everywhere we went, like excited kids. And as if the universe conspired, we serendipitously bumped into the role model who features first in the first volume of our book! None other than our favorite artist, Asia’s fastest speed painter – Vilas Nayak! Vilas has seen our journey from the very beginning and we do take this chance meeting as a sign. 🙂
That said, we have been overwhelmed with your response on seeing the book! So many of you have pre-ordered with us, and so many of you have promised your support for our upcoming crowdfunding campaign to ensure these books reach the rural schools! We are so grateful. 🙂
With our foray into more schools this year, we, as a team sat down to do the math of the kind of impact we are attempting. From starting in one classroom in the village of Chikkarasinakere, near Bangalore in January 2016, we have come a long way over two years. The current data tells us that we are currently working in 22 schools, impacting 5000 students and 150 teachers this academic year!!!
It’s our deepest wish that each one of these students should have their own copy of the Know Your Star books, be aware of 50 professions, get inspiration from 50 role models, and that this translates into 5000 student leaders on their way to impact exponentially more students. And with your support, we will make it happen together! 🙂
