So quite a few of you responded to this article by asking how you can donate to/contact the Usha school of athletics.

I hadnt quite foreseen this much of an interest in contributing to the school(nor had I expected the article to be received so well). Thanks y’all for the pleasant surprise – I’m really glad this might *just* end up working well for the school!

So, here’s some more detail about how you can contribute and be involved with the school.

To donate, write to ushaschool at rediffmail dot com – they’ll then send you a brochure of the school that also has details of how to send in donations. To know more about the school, visit the school’s website: http://ptusha.org .

There’re a couple of ways to help:

a. Donate cash. You can consider:

– Making a one-time donation.

– Donating a certain small amount every month.

– Donating in kind(equipment, supplies, say?).

– Make a corporate/team donation. Everyone from your team/company donates a small amount every month.

b. Get involved as a corporate sponsor. You can sponsor individual athletes’ expenses and travel, or you can support the school’s expenses

in general.

c. Spread the word. Pass on the link to this post(and the article) to people who might care and might be able to donate(on FB, Twitter, email perhaps?). Talk to companies you might know, folks in your office, people in your college – ask if they might be interested in getting involved?

(Dont worry if you’re not able to contribute huge amounts – send what you can – any amount is good.)

I’d like to hear from you as well if you’re getting involved – drop me a line by leaving a comment below, by writing to Shamanth at gmail dot com, or by connecting on Twitter.

I’d really like to see this work out well for the school – please do (at least) spread the word about this.
