Thank you for coming to my shower and supporting Teach For India! I wanted to use this opportunity to raise some money for Teach For India, which whom I have been working in Mumbai this year. TFI places India’s top graduates and young professionals in urban classrooms in India to teach for two years, and move onto be lifelong leaders in the fight against educational inequity in India. With 420 million children in India, every little bit helps us bring teachers into their lives that will transform their paths and open up opportunities for their futures. Their choices in life should not be a determinant of their families’ lack of income, and now we have an opportunity to change that reality!

About

About Teach For India: Teach For India's mission is to build the movement of leaders who will work to end educational inequity. We recruit India's most outstanding college graduates and young professionals and place them as full time teachers in under-resourced schools for two years. 

In the short run, these young leaders act as a source of dedicated teachers in government and low-income private schools. In the long-run, Teach For India will build a powerful and ever-growing leadership force of alumni who, informed by their experiences and insights, will work from inside and outside the educational system to effect fundamental, long-term changes necessary to ultimately realize educational opportunity for all.
