Who We Are:
The Latin root of the word "educate" literally means "lead out."  The Omprakash Foundation aims to be an educational resource for the world by leading people out into a community through which diverse local needs and assets can be expressed and shared on a global scale.  As the Omprakash Foundation helps bring human and material resources to grassroots educational projects in India, Peru, Tanzania, Tibet, and beyond, our donors, volunteers, and students all experience a broadening of perspective: children, adults, or somewhere in between, we all become increasingly educated as we realize our own interconnectedness.  Omprakash strives to allow a global community to support the education of its children, and at the same time, it allows the world's children to be led towards the realization of such a community.  At the very least, we hope that this website will encourage its visitors to reflect upon their roles as global citizens, and that this act-- even if largely imaginative-- will be educational in and of itself.
