Mission: To break the cycle of poverty in India's underserved communities by empowering children with education.
DECEMBER 2015
MANAV SEVA COMMUNITY CENTER
We are excited to announce the Manav Seva project. In collaboration with our NGO partner in India, we are building our first Community Center in Shankar Bhuvan. Team Seva has operated for the past year in makeshift classrooms with varying challenges. We decided the children of this community deserve a permanent, safe and clean learning space. Introducing Manav Seva. The space will permit two classrooms, small kitchen, washing area, two restrooms and storage serving over 200 children. We are now half way thru construction with a super volunteer team leading the project. We look forward to sharing more details as we near completion.
