Ekal Vidyalaya Foundation of Canada

On March 2nd, Ravi Verma (pictured), President of the Ekal Vidyalaya Foundation of Canada, was our guest along with his associates, Rakesh Saxena and Ashok Kaboor.  They came to our club to speak about the work their organization does in providing basic schooling to the villages in India that would otherwise be without a means to educate their youth, aged 4-15.  Five years of free primary education is provided through a specially-trained local teacher.  Basic language & math skills are taught as well as character-building and ethical values.   They also work with the community to help establish the school after the first five years of implementation to become 'self-supporting'.
