Friends of Tribal Society

2011-09-08T12:57:00.000-07:00

I have been looking forward to extend our works of Friends of tribal Society since many months. I have got an opportunity for the same while contacting students of Azim Premji University, Bangalore, a prestigious institute in the world.I have received an email from one of the students which is reproduced here.

Dear Mr.Kothari,
I am Gopika Nangia, a student of Masters in Development from Azim Premji University, Bangalore.

A s part of our first semester, we need to organize a group week-long field exposure trip to an organisation/place of our choice, so we were wondering if it would be possible for us to visit your organisation, Ekal Vidyalya in Rajasthan. In addition to that, we need to make arrangements to stay with locals, so we were wondering if they would be open to having us over, and if so,whether it would be possible for you to assist us in arranging that.

Our group comprises about fourteen people(including one professor) and the tentative dates are Oct 1st-10th.
Please let us know as soon as possible if this trip is feasible, because we have to book tickets etc.
Thank you!
Gopika Nangia
