There is lot more to be done and we are working on a schedule to finish all of the tasks in the next 2 years. For a long time, I was thinking what can be done to help the community where we grew up and which offered so much to us but sadly enough, is now in decline mainly due to socio-economic reasons. After observing library and community center activities here in the USA, we came to the conclusion that a library along with some of the community center activities will be the best gift for the community which can help in well-rounded education of the kids in particular and the community in general. Accordingly, we came up with a plan to provide a platform in the form of a library to the local community/kids to facilitate learning in different fields using different media as described below:
Class Details:
i. Arts and craft:
Status: Class has started. There are 14 students enrolled in the class.

iv. Guitar:

v. Tabla:

c. Increase the number of computers and include printers.

e. Build a bigger building for the library.
f. Start a new library attached to a school.
