Reproduced from my column
And here's a bit from a mail from Anouradha Bakshi, the founder of ProjectWhy.
Project Why “Rupee a day” festival
It’s less than you paid for this paper. And that’s what Project Why(a Delhi-based NGO that works with deprived children, mainly in education) would like you to consider donating to support their efforts. And now, with the start of our long festival season, they’re trying to reach more people. They’re looking for ideas, so head over if you have any. And yes, they could also use that rupee a day. (Project Why’s founder also runs a blog: http://projectwhy.blogspot.com/.)
Project Why is in the s**** house as we really have no funds beyond this month.Now, we normally pour scorn on chain letters too, and have physically removed a pyramid marketer from the premises once upon a when.

The above explains why.. and more whys.
The thing is that till date we have been working on oxygen that yours truly keep bringing, now we need lungs, and the major one is the one rupee.
My friend Sophie, a volunteer and lovely lady, said it would need 4 people to get 3 and 3 only 6 times..
Now I hate chain letters and pyramid marketing but can you think of a way to put this across. Let me confess something, I am not a great believer and yet I believe and the last few days I have been seeking help from the invisible forces.. now maybe you are just one of them!
The thing is that if I do not get the act together, many will lose their hope in life.
But we do believe in invisible forces.
That is, the blogosphere.
So, those of you who honour this blog (or the atom or rss feed) with your time, you've rallied around for less. Would you care to pass this worthy meme on?
(For the lit-inclined and those of the writerly persuasion, you could also point to this wonderful idea from Jikku of Funny, Filthy, Flawed, Gorgeous, which we mentioned a few days ago.)
