A group of ex-students from Duke and elsewhere are working with a non-profit organization in India called Sri Ramakrishna Tapovanam, to help fund the education expenses of girl students. We feel that the sociological benefit of assisting in the education for these girl children is more than providing food for children regardless of sex. Funds will only be used towards education or related expenses. Over the time we have assisted schools in getting new books, and providing scholarships to deserving students.

The currency exchange rate between the United States and India favors this effort. Every US dollar translates to approximately 42.57 Indian Rupees. Thus, even a small contribution, can go quite far. We would request you to assist in our effort by either making an one time contribution or a monthly commitment. Any amount, however small, is welcome. You can send the money directly to India at
