The Ahilya School

        As part of the Worldview: India project, students are collecting funds for the Ahilya School in Maheshwar, Madhya Pradesh. The school was started in 1989 to provide education for the children of the local handloom weavers. The cost of sponsoring a student for a year is $120, medical expenses for a family are an additional $100 for a year. Students at Harlem Park are having a penny drive and the art club is creating earrings for sale. James Mosher students are holding an art show at the Common Ground Cafe in Hampden in May. Students are donating their artwork to be sold so the proceeds can be sent to the Ahilya School.
