Asha for Education's Work An Hour event brings people from all over
the world together to help educate underprivileged children in India.
The event kicks off on July 4th, peaks on August 15th and concludes on
September 5th. 15th of August, Indian Independence Day, is the
symbolic date chosen for this phenomenal coming together of the human
spirit.

Last year's Work an Hour helped projects based on the theme of
disadvantaged children - children of sex workers, street children,
poor orphans, blind children etc. Details about the progress of these
projects are available on the website. These projects were supported
with over $130,000 raised from more than 1,900 donors supporting the
event.

states or rural areas of other states. Details about all the projects
