Stratford’s San Francisco campus Ekta Vasishth founded Team Positive in November 2017. Team Positive is a project that aims to support the education of female children in India through selling canvas totes designed by the stu- dents. SELLING TOTES TO HELP YOUNG GIRLS IN INDIA “The much-awaited Project Positive Totes are here,” said Vasishth. “With the purchase of one of these totes, indi- viduals/families help us fund education of a few under- privileged girls in India. Our goal was to sell 50 totes and help educate 10 girls for a year. The cost of each tote is $20. I am glad to announce that we have already sold all 50 to support 10 girls for a year. Ordered additional 25 which are also almost sold out.” All proceeds will go to Nanhi Kali , non-profit organiza- tion in India. Please visit www.nanhikali.org for more information. The funds raised will provide the girls in grades 1-5 with the study materials, uniform, bags, books, and hygiene materials they need. These funds will also be used INTERVIEW WITH Ekta Vasishth, THE TEACHER BEHIND THE PROJECT
