<div><strong>Project Rise — A Space for Children to Grow</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Puranjaye Bhatia. I left Switzerland and moved to Karbi Anglong, Northeast India. I live at a local ashram, collaborate with the Art of Living NGO, and visit rural schools and villages.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In July we provided 25+ bicycles so children could reach school and stay in education. Word spread. Children began coming to the ashram. I started English classes, then added drawing, music, dance, games, and simple yoga and meditation. Their eagerness showed a clear need for more space and steady time together. We now welcome them each week with local volunteers present.
</div>

</div>

</div>
