The Miri Piri Academy “Sustainable Living” project was featured today on the front page of the Cambridge International Examinations website and on their facebook page. Follow the links below to see our students work highlighted: http://www.cie.org.uk/news/features/detail?feature_id=31648 http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=166436&id=168221023425
At one time, the Miri Piri Academy student body was made up almost exclusively of students from the United States. However, as the teachings of the Siri Singh Sahib Yogi Bhajan spread worldwide, our student body has grown ever more diverse. In the 2009-10 school year, less than half the students were US citizens. Where two years ago 40% of our student body needed Financial Aid, this past year more than 60% of our students applied.
Following the example of the Siri Singh Sahib, we do not want to turn away anyone who comes to the school with folded hands and longing in their hearts. These children will grow in the teachings and then graduate and share them with thousands of others around the world. They are truly the future leaders, teachers and healers. We cannot turn them away. We hope that you will support our Financial Aid Fund with a generous donation.
Our goal is to raise $250,000 by August 1st, 2010.
If you have any questions about our development or fundraising plans, please do not hesitate to contact us at donations@miripiriacademy.org
