Hello Everyone,
I have been a moderator for the Religion and Spirituality forums for a while. It has always been an issue I have been interested in, however eventually the politics of the discussions in there turned me away.
Since then I have started working on a more hands on approach to helping people. I am now working with a dedicated group and our spiritual teacher towards building a school for some poverty-stricken children in Orissa, India. The details of the calamity that have affected these children and their current situation can be viewed on our site: http://www.swamisaipremananda.org/projects.php.
Currently we are on a tight deadline to complete fundraising for the school so construction can start on the monsoon offseason. We would appreciate any help that the TakingITGlobal community can give, advice, contacts, donations or anything else. More information can be found on the FAQs: http://www.swamisaipremananda.org/faqs.php
Thanks for looking and the interest in our project.
