“Nanubhai Education Foundation’s impact on education throughout India grows each year because of our committed donors. Collectively, we’ve broken ground, but still have far to go as an organization. Our annual fundraiser is an opportunity to be directly in touch with our contributors, and this year we hope to grow that list so we can increase the size of our scholarship fund as well as the number of English speaking students. We must do our part and raise the standards of education by promoting a sustainable future for our students abroad” stated Manish.
