Each year, people from around the world come together in a 
demonstration of great human spirit, to help educate 
underprivileged children in India. Work An Hour, or WAH, 
as it is popularly known, is a summer-long, global, online 
fundraising campaign based on a simple concept. Participants 
are asked to symbolically Work an Hour towards the cause of 
children's education by donating an hour's worth or more of 
their salary.

Last year, WAH raised over $140,000 with a donor base of over 
1,250 participants.Work an Hour 2008 aims to raise $200,000 
by September 15th,2008.This year's campaign addresses the 
empowerment of rural and tribal communities.The funds raised 
will be used to support 14 projects in rural areas 
of other states. Details about all the projects are available on the
website: http://www.ashanet.org/workanhour/2008/projects.php

You can be a part of this event by donating one hour of your
time to help educate the underprivileged in India. You can
do this symbolically by donating one hour's equivalent of your
salary or any other amount to Asha for Education. You can make
your donations online using a credit card (Visa/MC) or by
sending a check. If your company matches donations, please
include the matching donation form to double your donation.
