The readers of this blog are well aware of Vaidehi Ashram and the little girls whom I absolutely adore. Its a place where about 122 girls ages from 3 to 22 live together, most of them have no parents or a family of their own. Its a place where I find solace and their innocent smiles & dreams help me always to be positive in life no matter what. Those who want to read and know more about them, below are all the posts published here on the blog -


Every single day I get at least one query where people inquire about how they can help the girls at the ashram. Just the very thought that somebody in a faraway corner of the world is having them in their thoughts makes me feel so warm from inside, to know that there are lot many people out there who wish to help create a better future for the kids. After organising two fund drives, I realized that there are not many ways one could donate in foreign currency. That's why am planning to have a Chipin widget open for every 3 months. 

Important Note: On March 7th 2013, Chipin shut down. Hence I created a new gateway for contributions on YouCaring.com. The goal is to raise atleast a 2000$ in 6 months. The money will be used for their monthly school fees. 

A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who has contributed to raise $2560 in 6 months. :-) This response exceeded our expectations and until this amount has been disbursed, the "Give Now" will be removed from the page. Please check on the spreadsheet below for regular updates on the expenditure of funds to the ashram.
