Questions and answers
Why is it India of all places where the first of these projects is to be realised?
Well, it could be anywhere in the world – but three reasons are there for choosing India:
The people do still have contact to their cultural roots (and are about to loose them in the process of westernisation).
Financial effort in India is smaller than in Europe.
The “Shin Shiva Charitable Trust” has been working very successfully in India for many years with reliable structures, tight administration and high personal effort.
Can I visit the school?
Yes! You are very welcome at the moment to come visit the school and inform yourself about the status of the project in place.
We willingly arrange opportunities for the journey there and accommodation options for you.
Just call the Manager of the Trust, Mr. Dilbar Singh Parihar (0091/94 12 98 96 96 or 0091/9 31 31 02 355) to talk about details of your visit.
Organised Projectjourneys to India for small groups of up to ten persons are carried out frequently, please approach us.
How do I learn about the prospect of the school?
If you support the building-up of the school financially, we inform you about the progress of the project.
In case you have any questions in the meantime, we will be glad to provide reference telephonically.
On the homepage http://www.paramarth-awadhawan.com you will find the latest photos of the project.
Where is this school-initiative coming from?
The " Free Movement for the Preservation and Unfolding of the Human Dignity" has initiated the school project and forwarded it to the "Shin Shiva Charitable Trust" for its realisation.
Mr. Dilbar Singh Parihar, the manager of the Trust is personally in charge. Administrative costs and wages for the management are not being paid with donation money. Only costs directly ascribed to the project can be deducted.
In Europe, the entire work is being done honorarily. Once a year, interested people and honorary employees travel to Pauri to convince themselves of the progress of the project.
How can I be sure, that my donation gets into the project and not disappearing in "dark channels" ?
The "Shin Shiva Charitable Trust"( http://www.ssctindia.org ) is recognized by the Indian government as a charity and is checked every 6 months.
Mr Dilbar Singh Parihar, general manager of the trust is personally liable. Administrative costs and salaries in line are not paid for by donations. Only the project directly attributable costs are billed.
In Europe, the whole work is done by volunteers.
In Europa wird die gesamte Arbeit ehrenamtlich geleistet. Once a year, flying people and interested volunteers to Pauri to convince himself personally from the project's progress.
