Jeevan
Jagriti Niketan Project details:
During
Diwali of 2005, the tri-state Uttaranchali community
launched its annual charity fundraising program for Jeevan
Jagriti Niketan school in Rishikesh. This debut event
included a silent auction of art & craft created by children
and a bingo game through which both children and adults
raised funds to sponsor the education expenses of two
unprivileged children back home. The sponsorship money
covered their tuition, books & uniforms expenses.
Since
then, the Diwali fundraising program for Jeevan Jagriti
Niketan has been adopted on an ongoing basis. The surplus
funds are utilized by the school for buying library books
and supplies. To date, a total of Rs. 58,500 (Rs10,000 in
2005; Rs 20,000 in 2006 & Rs. 28,500 in 2007) has been
donated to Jeevan Jagriti Niketan.

Dear Group Members,
It seems that a lot of our Uttarakhand community people
who come to US & CANADA for the first time specially
students, look for some basic guidance and information to
help them settle in their new environment. We, the UANA
members, would like to offer this much needed initial
support to first time travelers and students under our
Swagat USA program.
