E-Base making news: Sanctuary Asia Magazine
The print version of the article.
Sanctuary Asia covered our work this month; here is the e-version in case you missed it in print.
We would like to thank Sanctuary Asia for this wonderful piece!
E-Base Library: The Ambitious Plans
Very generous donations have brought us so much closer to building our second library.
We have now decided to put all the money collected from today towards giving meaning to the books in our library.
How will we do that, you ask?
We will be inviting authors and illustrators of the wonderful books from various Indian publishing houses. A book will have so much more significance if the students got a chance to understand the sentiments behind it. Besides, the students will also get a chance to interact with the best in the field.
The students always encounter fun and learning at the E-Base.
E-Base Library: The Joy of Books!
We’re so happy to see all the support pouring in for the campaign; be it a Mumbai student running a book collection drive or mothers sending in their children’s old encyclopedias. Here’s just a quick update on how the project is coming along and well, how our office currently looks! (But, we’re not complaining!)
That is about six big bags full of encyclopedias!
We have also received an extremely positive response from publishers and we’re all set to start placing orders for more books.
E-Base Library: A reality now, and still growing!
We are touched by the overwhelming munificence shown towards the E-Base Library campaign.
Having reached 104% of the target, we feel content on the achievement, but also hopeful towards aggrandizing our impact by raising more funds to replicate the E-base library idea in Pench Tiger Reserve, Maharashtra. Two sides of the same forest, but kilometers apart in different states. We hope that you continue to show us the kind support you have up till now and help us raise another Rs. 70,000 for the children of an even more remote side of Pench, in Maharashtra..
Just to revisit the moment we crossed our target, here is a before and after snapshot of the website:
The excitement on having crossed the target!
E-Base Library: We’re looking good at 58%
We are overwhelmed by the support that has been shown towards our campaign to raise funds for the E-Base library.
E-Base library: We’re 20% closer!
To all our contributors, a big thank you!
Contributions to the library are fast coming in and in just 5 days we have raised 20% of the funds! We’re overwhelmed by the positive and very encouraging response we have received.
Raising funds for the E-Base Library
The E-Base is close to completing three years this year. The E-Base workshops have had a considerable impact on the students in Pench. This year, we have taken a moment to step back and look at some fundamental concerns which we could address through the E-Base and which will ultimately enhance the E-Base experience for children from the villages around Pench.
One E-Base Library, coming up!
Within two days, we will be going live with our campaign to raise funds for an E-Base Library.

Happy Second Birthday, E-Base!
Two years have already passed since the 21st of November, 2011. Last month on the 24th of November, 2013, we celebrated the second anniversary of the E-Base with a lot of excitement as on this day the students played the most important role- that of the teachers!
The fair was a culmination of sorts of two years of workshops as we took it as an opportunity to let the children display their learnings at the E-Base. With science experiments and demonstrations, waste installations, biodiversity games and competitions, the E-Base was abuzz with close to 250 students in attendance!
