The teachers are enthusiastic and were impressed by the idea of having their own library when Mukund visited them during his India visit during Christmas holidays. Mukund’s cousin Dr. Martand is the local contact and is well associated with the school village. Mandar, Mukund’s brother who stays in Thane-Mumbai, found a local distributor of books who was kind enough to pass on all his profit (30% of retail price) for this noble cause. Mandar managed the books collection & logistics to post them to the school.
Few of the books provided
“Overall it was a great satisfying experience!” – say Mukund, Mandar & Dr. Martand.
The letter sent by the Head Master of the school also says a lot –
Translated as:
“First of all, many more best wishes for the noble work you all are doing!
Our students are enjoying reading of the books you have sent to us. Few of the books are also read by our teachers and local seniors.
Our heartily best wishes to the project you have undertaken.
We have provided the acknowledgment receipt to Dr. Martand.”
Currently books in Marathi have been donated. In few months time, we may discuss and contribute Hindi and English books as well based on the feedback on current books.
Special thanks all of you for your continued support and encouragement for this wonderful work.
The school was reopened after summer holidays last month. I spoke to Dr. martand last week who visited the school. They are very happy with the Marathi titles provided. They are fine to go ahead with Hindi books as well. We may need to find out few titles or ask them to prepare a list. Thanks all for the grand support. Best Regards,
