APS - An Idea of a community school at Nalanda, Bihar is a flagship project of with a goal to provide holistic and quality education at an affordable rate. Project was started two years ago. Currently we have one fifty students and twenty staffs ( educators , drivers , maid ). With these numbers of students and staffs, school had reached up to the stage where almost monthly recurring cost was meeting from the contribution of guardians / parents every month. For resources and larger expenditures school was relied upon generous donation and help from well-wishers.

But, Everything is different right now. And we don't know when it will get back to normal. In this difficult time of COVID-19 pandemic, contributions from the guardians are badly affected. Schools were shut down in very first and will also start in very last. Maximum of our guardians are low middle class or very low middle class family who are badly affected. They are shopkeepers, tutors, farmers, skilled labours, street vendors, taxi-drivers, maid etc. Demanding payment when they may have struggling in preparation of respectful livelihood for coming days will none other than inhuman act. Even government have all the schemes for poor and marginalised family. At the same time staffs having salary in four digits cannot survive with delayed salary payment.

In this tough situation we can help these twenty families through little donation. With positive hope that the situation will be in all control till the end of June, we are crowdfunding for 4.25 lakhs covering three months salary of these twenty staff. I urge you to donate generously and help to complete this noble goal.
