I’m Abhishek and I along with couple other enthusiastic hikers have volunteered to climb Mt. Rainier this summer in support of and to raise funds for Asha, Seattle.
Asha for Education is a non-profit voluntary organization dedicated to socio-economic change in India mainly using the medium of education for young children.

The “Climb for Asha” program places special emphasis on the GRAVIS project. Here’s a short video and slide show on GRAVIS+ Rainier climb, which works to improve the lives of villagers in the Thar Desert of Western India, by,

  • focusing on schools for child and adult education – $10 funds a child’s basic
  • education for one month !
  • creating self-help group for women
  • establishing water harvesting wells
  • organizing health camps
  • Please find below the links to site visits made by Sandeep this year and in past. Links provide pictures and more information about the impact of GRAVIS projects to the villages.

    My goal is to raise a minimum of $1500 dollars for Asha and I need the support of all my friends, family and co-workers. Rest assured that 100% of the money raised goes directly into a great cause since Asha is an organization that prides itself of “zero” overhead. No amount is too small, every dollar helps push me closer to the goal and results in better opportunities for the children. Thank you so much for your support!
