MESSAGE FROM SHAHLA ETTEFAGH, FOUNDER
Dear Friend and Supporter,
The children and staff at Mother Miracle school in Rishikesh, India want to express their heartfelt thanks for your generous donations and also for sponsoring one or more students. All of your help is greatly appreciated and very much needed. Our new School director and principal have brought many new ideas and activities to our school. The children are very happy, excited and having fun.
Our most recent update is that we have shifted the school focus to emphasize technology.
The students are thriving in learning innovative technology. We have created 3 state-of-the art computer labs and 2 IOT (Internet of Things) Labs. We have now 140 computers and laptops and direct high-speed internet. We are in the process of building a software company for our students as well to assure their continued success. Today grades kindergarten to 1 are learning typing and Microsoft, grades 2 thru 5 are making movies and games with Scratch coding program from MIT. Grades 6 thru 10 are learning C and C++ and Python coding language as well as Java and java script. They are making Apps and daily are attending IOT and coding labs and making interesting projects. Our focus and intention is to create a world famous school in terms of computer science. This is the only way they will be able to break the cycle of poverty ….. by finding a job in our consulting company or creating their own IT company to support their families. One day they will give back to the community by sponsoring a student at Mother Miracle School.
Because of you, today we have over 586 thriving students! Hooray!!!! Thanks to all sponsors and donors. Thank you so much for continuing to sponsor your child and making it a priority to pay on time. We admitted 46 kindergarten students this spring and are looking for sponsors for them. Maybe you have friends who many be interested in joining our family???
