a GRAM OF TRUTH . . . is worth a pound of insight!

Running for health is always a good thing. But when you add another dynamic to being fit and healthy, like running for an important cause then it turns into something selfless and noble. The annual Sunfeast 10K 2009 Marathon run in Bangalore, which takes place on May 31st, is one of the noble causes you can become involved in, whether it is by running or donating.

Bangalorecares, a non-profit organization, is the Official Charity Partner and host of the Sunfeast Marathon event. They are inviting all non-government organizations (NGOs) that want to raise funds for their charitable causes through this event, to register with Bangalore Cares as soon as possible.

New Life is one of the NGO’s that is involved with the Marathon event. Their mission is to elevate women and their children, who are below the socio-economic standard of living, into the mainstream of modern-day society. Education is one of the areas that New Life has been focussing a lot of attention on. It is their belief that a proper education gives the children the building tools that are necessary for their own well-being and personal growth. The children, as well as women, can contribute to their communities and to society in general.

New Life In Action

In order to strengthen the academic performance of the children undergoing primary education, New Life has conceived a special system of identifying problematic areas of weaknesses in the educational methodology of Government run schools. Through rigorous coaching and tracking of improvement of performance (with UMECS Software), it has targeted 10,680 children that require remedial assistance (studying 1st std to 8th std) in the current academic year.

Therefore, New Life has partnered with Bangalorecares for “Sunfeast World 10K Bangalore 2009″ in order to generate awareness and funding for their Education assistance programs. By participating in the marathon through New Life, and by making donations in the name of New Life you will be supporting the noble causes they are championing.
