On my visit to India and to this region in particular, I was struck by the various levels of poverty. There I saw people who wore beautiful sarees, lovely leather shoes, and colorful jewelry of all kinds, and who exhibited such grace and style. But, I also observed those with no shoes, very drab clothing, no jewelry, those who weren’t bathed, and had no food. Such is the life in India.

In addition to providing two uniforms and two pairs of shoes per student, we would like to provide basic clothing for these families. Pants, shirts, blouses, shoes, underwear, sandals, socks, scarves, perhaps even a saree or two. Included in this, we would provide masks to protect from COVID-19, as this is a necessity in these times. One of the saddest pictures I have seen is the picture you see at the bottom of our pages of a small boy who fashioned his own mask out of scrap material he likely found. While this mask may do absolutely nothing to protect him, he feels safer wearing it. We would like to do better, we need to do better, and we need your help to do it!

Clothing serves such an important part in our lives, one that is often overlooked. In the Western world, we have different designers, many different styles, and even at a young age here, people want to look their best, look fresh. Clothes can make us feel better about ourselves, let us hold ourselves with more dignity, enable us to have a better life. Shouldn’t everyone have that same opportunity and feeling?[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]
