First Organization The organization is called Akanksha. The organization is trying to help underprivileged children in India. We like how they organize a lot activities for the children including dance, field trips, summer camp, drama, art, sports, computers, health counseling and empowerment program, social leadership etc. Some questions we have about it are, how are they spreading the word about the program and the schools? How are the children chosen out of a lot of people to get in the school? We could become with this organization by donating, raising awareness, and maybe creating videos to put on youtube.

Second Organization UNESCO is made by the United Nations and has been around for 64 years since 1945. One of their missions is to, “provide international leadership to create learning societies with educational opportunities for all populations”. There other mission is to “provide expertise and foster partnerships to strengthen national educational leadership and the capacity of countries to offer quality education for all” – From UNESCO web site (link at top of page) They are trying to provide access to education for all at all levels. Teach children with special needs. Helping the children to have good teachers. Integrate technology into learning. We like how they want to help use technology to further the children’s education and open a new window for jobs. We also like how they are making teachers go through training to make sure the children have adequate teachers. We like how they are trying to help children with special needs and not excluding them from the program. Does the program build schools to teach in? How much progress has UNESCO made since 1945? Where on the website can you donate to the program? We can get involved by helping to advertise this program and if we find out where to donate to we can raise money in fundraisers to donate to them.

**Case Study Two**
The specific topic that our group decided to focus on is underprivileged kids in India. The organization that we chose to focus on was Akanksha because they seem to have a good program with helping children in India to get a good education. One child that graduated from Akanksha said, “In Akanksha, I am learning respect and other values. We study formal school English and math on Monday and Thursday. Also, we are learning general knowledge, how to speak English and about careers.” Sunita Khane, 17 The organization is trying to help underprivileged children in India by making learning centers for kids and schools for them. We like how they organize a lot activities for the children including dance, field trips, summer camp, drama, art, sports, computers, health counseling and empowerment program, social leadership etc. We could become involved with this organization by donating, raising awareness, and maybe creating videos to put on youtube.
