'Udaan': Their Flight to a New Destination

Wow! This blogging business is really catching on to me. And I’m not going to lie; all the positive reinforcement from you guys hasn’t hurt either! I’m definitely not one of those people who say, “I’m blogging just to release my pent up creativity. I don’t care if people read my blog.” This blog is for a purpose and if I can’t spread the word, then it’s really quite pointless. So, I’m going to take this opportunity to say a big fat THANK YOU to all you guys who’ve helped recruit on facebook, left interesting comments on the blog and retweeted on twitter. 

One question a lot of you have asked is why 267. 267 is the magic number for these ten girls whose lives we’re trying to transform. While you and I were going to school, enjoying family time and learning the ways of life; she was working in the paddy fields, making rope and cooking for her family. In one year, your $267 will teach her language, mathematics, environmental science and also teach her about herself, society, institutions, rights and equality. I’m not trying to sound preachy, but you’ll really be returning the first ten years of her life to her! So, give whatever you can, $2.67, $26.7, $267. Spent too much money on food and drinks this month? No worries. Give five minutes of your time. Adopt a girl and spread the message of one of the girls to ten friends/ family members and ask them to do their part.
