40K - creating better futures through education

40K - creating better futures through education
Story
I'm taking part in the Sydney Harbour 10k and hoping to raise much needed funds for charity.
My chosen charity is 40K - a foundation that improves the education for disadvantaged children in India. To enable these communities to have sustainable education in the future, 40K also sends Australian university students to India on scholarships to establish socially innovative business opportunities, providing adults with skills to improve the possibilities for their future as well. For more information on the program visit http://40k.com.au/.
Over the last few months my students have held public relations events at University of Wollongong to raise awareness and funds for the 40K program. We also created a YouTube video clip we'd love you to visit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJFacPtWQwA. Search terms: Two hands rick caballo.
This July, I’m going to be running my best to complete a course around the Harbour and Sydney's CBD.
I am honoured to be a part of this amazing race and helping a great cause, and I’d really appreciate your support in this endeavour.
Thank you for your support and helping to make a difference!

40K -The 40K Foundation Australia Fund
EDUCATION CHANGES LIVES Rohit’s mother decided that the family should forgo the income he could have earned from the age of ten, in favour of putting him through the local school system. However, the quality of the education was so poor that he failed his year ten exams, and now works in the same local quarry as those who never finished school. A lack of adequately resourced schools in rural India causes many primary school-aged children - 51% of girls, and 41% of boys - to abandon their education in favour of exploitative labour, which pays them less than $1.50 per day. Bad education is no better than no education. The 40K Plus Program provides disadvantaged, primary school-age children in rural India, with a solid grounding in English and numeracy, access to technology, books, and life skills, so that they can benefit from opportunities for further education and employment that are comparable to those enjoyed by children from more financially secure families. $10,000 will pay for the set up and running costs of one centre for 25 kids, for an entire year: just $400 will create a place for one child, for an entire year.
