“When shopping for toys, I found this tablet writing and looked for them on the internet.
Because it was available for Rs 250, I decided to donate them to 38 children in Balawadi, which was close to my old house near Pandeshwar.
When the shop owner learned about That and the reason why I did it, he offered this device for Rs 195 / Slate.
We decided to give around 250 e-plaster to children, “Prabhu said.
After Prabhu wrote about campaigns on social media, many people all over the world advanced to contribute.
Donations transferred directly to the owner’s bank account.
Prabhu said social workers from Bengaluru, Lakshadweep and Yadgir have also decided to introduce this campaign in their district.
“Parlate might survive at least one year.
We plan to distribute e-plaster to at least 10 Angganwadis, and artist Anudeep Karkera has volunteered to do a drawing class in this streetwadis for three days.
There will be a contest in each of the 10 widewadists on each Children’s day, where students will be asked to draw Indian maps in Eslate.
The best will be appreciated, “Prabhu said.
