Last Saturday night, Goducate launched its plans for India. Jacob, an Indian IT specialist who is now a Singapore citizen, spearheaded this launch. He has recently made several trips back to India to survey the potential for Goducate’s work there.
About 60 other Indians, most of who are working in Singapore, attended the launch. Goducate’s founder, Paul Choo, shared the Goducate vision with them. Stephen Paul, an Indian who is presently studying in Singapore, presented the plans for Goducate India. Stephen was instrumental in registering Goducate in India last month.
This was followed by a very enthusiastic Q and A session – until it was time for a good home-cooked Indian dinner!
The Goducate India team has already raised Singapore $30,000 to buy a property in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. They hope to raise another $30,000 for this project in the near future.
India is on the move! We hope to be a part of India’s progress by helping poor Indians to help themselves!
