Being in the early stages of planning, we’re are still architecting the step-by-step processes to carry out this vision between management and the donors. First, we are analyzing various properties for sale in Puttaparthi that can host our needs. It will need to be between 2-4 acres with well water access. Next, we will need to architect a property and school blueprint for how to best construct all the necessary facilities.
Our student housing that will enable homes for the financially poor and orphaned children will be constructed using 9 -18 rooms that can accommodate 6 children each with 2-4 shared bath and shower rooms. The sleeping and hygiene quarters will be split amongst girls and boys preferably by building or alternatively by floor.
Currently, our prayer hall and our dining hall share the same space. We are aiming to separate these halls to honor the sacred space of the temple, as well as create a more socially inviting environment in the dining hall. 2 full time cooks and 2 full time cleaners will help run these spaces rather than our teachers needing to crossover with these roles.
Each classroom will have the seating capacity for 20-30 students. Additionally, we will add projectors into each classroom so that we’re able to expand the lesson capabilities of our curriculum through interactive videos, demonstrations, and websites.
Considering how much more extensive this school is than our current one we’re estimating that we can comfortable carry out the construction and its first two years of operation with a budget of $250k - $500k. Beyond this, we’re anticipating our annual budget will require $60k - $75k. If you’re interested in helping us fund this vision, we’re looking for anchor donors to take part!
When rain drops come together, they become a river, and when rivers meet they create the ocean. In the same way, when we all join together, great service can be done. We humbly request that you kindly lend your ideas, your hands, and your donations to carry out the success of our vision.
