Manthano Modern School
Manthano Modern School is a wholistic education initiation for the rural children. The school was founded and established so that the rural people can also get a quality English medium education just like the children in the developed cities of the country. The village, in which we've established the new school building, and the neighboring villages are very much aloof from the privileges of the towns located in the same district. Hence, we saw a need to build a bridge between the cities and remote villages. The only concrete way to build a bridge is to educate the village children.

Mark Karla devoted much of his life to caring for the under-served. During the last years of his life, he partnered with FLūME and passionately worked for the under-served in Northeast India. There, Mark helped to build a school, now educating ~250 children and he was working to bring sustainable dentistry to the people of this community. This golf tournament, now bearing Mark's name, was in the planning phases when he was tragically killed in a motor vehicle accident in 2019.

The Academic year for 2019-2020 has officially started. All of our students were provided with Texts books, Notebooks, Pencil boxes and brand new school bags. The team has worked very hard to ensure that everything was in order to deliver these items to the 168 children in our school. The community is really happy and excited for the new academic year! Sponsor a child today and help us eliminate poverty through education. This school is completely run by the generous sponsorship of our friends without whom it would have been impossible to run a school in a remote village such as this.

Amazing things are happening with KCM. The village school project is in the midst of building a second floor in order to accommodate more students. KCM currently educates 136 students. We are up to 2 buses to transport these students from their homes to the school (see photo below). In Kolkata, KCM is working to build the first well in one of the informal communities (slums) with which we partner. KCM is empowering women in all of the communities thru vocational training and small groups. All of this is in thanks to your generous donations.

Student Sponsorship Update
Published Mon, Mar 19, 18. Written by Valeria Miller.
As you may remember from our most recent newsletter update, we have a student sponsorship program at Manthano Modern School, the school that Kolkata City Mission started in the rural village area outside Kolkata. We started this school as a way to reach a marginalized and impoverished community of people and provide their children with a quality English education with no cost to them. Good education in India costs a lot of money and often weighs heavily on families. In communities like the ones that we serve, education is something that usually cannot be afforded. Lack of education is one of the things fueling the perpetual cycle of generational poverty, but we are passionately moving to change that! We are able to offer free education to these children because of the student sponsorship program.
Here are the basics:
-An individual or family can choose to sponsor one of our students for $25 a month. This involves going onto our website, choosing a child, setting up an account, and setting up a payment. To make it even easier, you can select automatic monthly payments so you don't have to worry about missing one. All donations are tax deductible.
-The child you sponsor will attend classes at our school and receive the things they need for their schooling and health care needs. They will send you a letter or picture twice a year and are able to receive letter communication from you as often as you send it.
-Because we believe that the money you generously give should go exactly where you allot it to go, we have very low overhead and administration costs, so almost the entirety of your donation goes directly to support the child you are sponsoring.
We aren't just sponsoring academic education, we are supporting the healthy growth and development of these children, pouring into them deeply, and sending them out into the world with confidence and success, putting an end to their family's story of poverty!
