Asha for Education (English: Hope for Education) is a 100% volunteer-run action group dedicated to bringing socio-economic change in India by focusing on basic education, in the belief that education is a critical requisite for socio-economic change. It is a not-for-profit voluntary non-political and secular organization. The objectives of the organisation are: * To provide education to underprivileged children in India. * To encourage the formation of various local groups across the world to reach out to larger sections of the population. * To support and cooperate with people and groups already engaged in similar activities. * To raise the required human and other resources to achieve the group objectives. * To provide opportunities to individuals living outside India who wish to participate in Asha activities in India. * To address, whenever possible, other issues affecting human life such as health care, the environment, socio-economics, and women's issues. == History == In the summer of 1991, a few students including V.J.P.Srivatsavoy, Deepak Gupta, and Sandeep Pandey got together to think of ways in which they could play a role in the development of India, the country of their origin. These young people shared the belief that education is a critical requisite and an effective catalyst for social and economic change in India. The group was named "Asha" (from the Sanskrit ''āśā'', "hope") to represent the hope that had brought these individuals together and the hope that they aimed to bring into the lives of children in India. In that summer of 1991, Asha was born at the University of California, Berkeley. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Asha for Education」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
