3. Sponsor the development of audio visual material
   Material for teaching English needs to be developed urgently. In addition, training material for teachers in a variety of forms would be very important to develop.

Sponsor a child at:

   There are still many parents who cannot afford to send their children to government for lack of basic essentials. This commitment for five years will allow a child to go to school in our partner school, at least till he/she completed the primary cycle (up to grade VIII).
2. Rato Bangala: commitment for 10 - 12 years required
   Rato Bangala School takes in students from marginalized communities and takes them through high school. It is expected that these children will eventually serve as a role model in their community.
