Children spend one quarter of a day in school and of this 60-80% of time is spent in the classroom. Having proper classroom furniture and environment plays an important role in children’s growth and performance. Since the classroom is an influential part of a student’s life, we helped Jnana Nidhi school which is striving to provide quality education to underprivileged students in the remote village of Andhra Pradesh with a grant to buy new furniture for the classrooms. We thank our donors and Freddie Mac/Fannie Mae for their generous employee match donations.
There is nothing quite like Christmas to bring out the kid in everyone. For millions of children all over the world who don’t have a proper home and family, the holiday season isn’t something to celebrate. With this project we hope to spread joy and bring a smile to the faces of these children during various holidays. During this 2020 holiday season, with support from multiple generous donors, YSI was able to raise $1,800 through Gofund me and provided holiday gifts to 60 children/parents in need. We are extremely grateful for these donors who helped us put a smile on these beautiful little faces.
