Every book I read helps educate a child in India

Dear Auntie/Uncle/Ba/Dada/Didi/Bhai,

JSK / Namaste from Yogidada’s IPADs. (Remember Charlie’s Angels?):

We are Krish, Isha and Kavish from Dallas, Texas. Yogidada defines us – the third generation – as IPADs (India Proud American Desi). We love being called IPADs as much as we love our own IPADs.

This summer, we are reading and raising money by taking part in Pratham USA Readathon. Each of us plan to read 7 books asking you to sponsor us $10, $20, $30, $40, or $50 per book donating $70, $140, $210, $280, or $350. Our goal is to raise $10,000 that will help 400 children in India with basic skills of reading, writing and counting.
In case, you are wondering why we are asking you to donate $70 and its multiples? Sadly, its Kumon that makes us think in terms of multiples!!!. But, guess what! Yogidada is turning 70 this Fall. We, as his IPADs, like to celebrate his 70th Big Day by reading books and raising $7,000. We cannot imagine any gift that would make him happier than a donation to Pratham children!

You already know what Pratham does. If not, just google it and find out. You can do it because you know how to read and write. Pratham’s work is so good that our FOB grandparents and ABCD parents support it. Now, we the IPADs are joining them ready to bat for India’s needy children. We are donating $70 each from our personal allowances. Hope you join us and donate online now. Thanks.

Love,
Krish, Isha and Kavish
