Dear Madam, we`re writing from a set of villages where there s not enough water to get crops nor is there any institution to support people. We`re near Pune only unable to send our boys and girls that far to get education.We ran an English medium school ( as asked by the government) and after 10 years Coronna robbed it from us as no English teacher came to teach nor the girls from a distance. We`ve built a good building for students which is empty. Could you kindly assist us to start your marvellous Skills training with us. Pune is too far for us. We`ve tried milk marketing,ricemill processing etc but to no avail. We had not read about your Institution and coulnt any way have not sent our kids. Please help us. Please note that our organisation has both male and female members and all of us work for girls. If possible please visit us once. Thank you
Medha Tengshe.
