Gardenia School, inaugurated on  June 20, 2015, is a preschool that provides quality English education to 40+ three to five year old students that live in the DJ Halli slum.  Each student is given educational materials and 2 nutritious meals 6 days a week, including periodic medical check ups, all free of charge.  The children are taken on excursions so they can experience restaurants, zoo, shopping centers and parks for the first time.

How is this new school project funded?

AlphaBet Club is adding additional funds from ABC Events in Amsterdam to cover first 6 months of operating costs (Approximate ABC Project Funding Costs 40,000 Euros).
