Northern India:
A world-renowned tiger sanctuary, Ranthambore National Park is located in the deciduous forests of northern India. Grand Circle Foundation supports two schools in this rural region—the Saini Adarsh Vidhya Mandir Primary School and the Adarsh Bal Vidhya Mandir Primary School.
We've been supporting these schools since the beginning of 2009, and our donations so far have provided separate boys' and girls' lavatories and a fresh coat of paint for Adarsh Bal Vidhya Mandir; and classroom fans, a library, and lavatories for Saini Adarsh Vidhya Mandir. There is, however, still much to be done to improve the schools' facilities—which is why we chose this community for Foundation support. Adarsh Bal Vidhya Mandir has requested two new computers, and Saini Adarsh Vidhya Mandir needs three new classrooms to accommodate students.
Southern India:We began our partnership with the LP Public School in Kerala's Kanjipadam community in 2010, and we're excited to begin making improvements. Our first priorities will be providing 5 blackboards, a computer, and desks for the kids; and building classroom storage cupboards.
School in session:
Early July through late May; closed periodically throughout the year for Hindu and national holidays
