Spokesman for the foundation, Manish Dayal says
“I’m fortunate to have been a part of the Nanubhai team for the past 2 years, and see the substantial growth in our schools. More specifically, our goals would have been impossible to achieve without the hard work of our Executive Team, our onsite team members, and most importantly you; our supporters. Without your contributions we are unable to further our mission. So, lend a hand and join us at our Fifth Annual Gala and help us achieve the partnerships we are cultivating to improve the quality of English language instruction in India’s rapidly globalizing economy.”
The annual gala will be an exciting evening of cocktails, Hors D’oeuvres, entertainment, music, dancing and much more. Designer Payal Singhal’s “Taj” Summer 2013 collection will add an array of glamour to the venue by draping mannequins in her collection which is inspired by filigree, jaali work and floral inlays seen in Islamic architecture. The gala is the primary source to raise funds for the Nanubhai Education Foundation’s Teacher Training and Professional Development Program, which focuses on enhancing the teaching skills, classroom management techniques and English language capabilities of local teachers.
Ms. Nita Nehru, Executive Director of the Nanubhai Education Foundations explains,
“Working with local teachers to build upon their skills is critical to create sustainable and scalable change in rural India. We are committed to building a cadre of exceptional local teachers in rural India so that every student that passes through their doors is better educated, eloquent in English and can leverage these skills to access India’s economic opportunities.”
