How you can contribute to the school

For information on any of the following, please contact Mathieu and Vasant. [mathieu@youngmusiciansoftheworld.org and vasant.mokashi@gmail.com. You can speak to Vasant at 98457-19920]

Contribute money towards monthly expenses of the school

The school, which has around 100 students staying on campus, needs a sizeable amount every month for food, clothing, medical care, teachers' salaries, educational equipment/music instruments and books, electricity, transport, and maintenance of buildings.

With increasing number of students, the school is struggling to raise this amount. Your contributions will go a long way to keep this ideal alive.

Contributions to the school are eligible for deduction under section 80G, of Income Tax act.

Watch this video - SunGard Software Solutions contributed computers to the school a few years ago - and their arrival was a big event for the kids!

Come stay!

Come stay at the school for short periods and teach the children in interactive ways - music, or any school subject. Young people from many parts of the world come and stay at Kalkeri, often on exchange programs.

Provide innovative ideas

Come up with innovative ideas for the development of the school. They have a few computers there, donated by SunGard Software Solutions - children have basic computer knowledge. Internet connection exists, but is slow, and depends on faulty telephone connections.

Tell the whole world!

Spread the word, and encourage others to visit/help/participate! If you have friends who are musicians, do let them know - they will relate to this in a special way.

And if you know of people abroad who want to do volunteer service in a foreign country, do let them know of this unique opportunity.

Thank you!
