Donation protected
On December 2, 2015, an epic rainfall in Chennai, India triggered the region's worst flood in over 100 years, drowning a city of 4.8 million people.
300 people died in the flooding.
"The Chennai disaster is being called a 'perfect storm,' a shining example of what can happen when climate change meets poor urban planning." - Sreedhar Potarazu, CNN.
As the city of Chennai begins the process of drying out and cleaning up, students and teachers at the Omega School have been doing the same.
Their library that housed more than 10,000 books, now has only 20.
The Omega School was established for the purpose of teaching children, not only what they need to succeed in the real world by way of practical skills, but also to teach them the values that they need to cherish and uphold all their lives.

We are asking for any small amount that you can give - $5, $10, $20 toward the purchase of new books for the Omega School Library.
Global Education Motivators (GEM) has worked closely with the Omega School for 8 years, first on the UN Student Conference on Human Rights and then moving toward year-long collaborations with the students and teachers.
The staff of the Omega School is extremely dedicated to the education of their students, often staying late into the night to be connected for our international videoconference programs.
Your support of this wonderful school will be greatly appreciated by the students and faculty, all of whom have already lost so much.
