As an Organization, How Can We Get Involved?
Organizations are welcomed to get involved with GSG College. Please tell us about your organization and your ideas for getting involved. Rotary International and various Rotary Clubs have played key roles in making GSG College what it is today. Drs. Atmaram and Sushila Gawande were active Rotarians who engaged Rotarians from around the world to get involved with GSG College. Rotary brought clean drinking water to the College, provided new computers, and established a book bank for students who were too poor to buy their own textbooks.
Why Donate?
Located five hours away from any major city, this rural farming region is poor in resources—inadequate sources of food, clean water, health care, and job opportunities—but rich in love. The students are eager to learn. The faculty are eager to teach. The administration is eager to provide the best available resources. When you donate, you will see the tangible impact that even a small contribution can make. Donations can be made via check payable to SESA, a 501(c) registered nonprofit organization, and mailed to 85 Elmwood Place, Athens, OH 45701, USA.
