II Satya Prem Karuna II II Truth Love Compassion II It is Undeniable Point to make , and it goes without saying, it is the Supreme Lord who is the giver of food and education. AkshayaPatra is like the hands of God, where a huge surmountable workload is being carried out to provide to these children who have come through a tough background of malnutrition, and where there is no hope of a future.
AkshayaPatra provides hope by providing food for 1.3 million school children across 9 States and 19 locations.
With over 13.5 million malnourished children India must work tirelessly to improve the quality of life for its population for generations to come.
The Akshaya Patra Foundation believes that only through education can they achieve this.
Akshaya Patra are therefore aiming to reach 5 million children by the year 2020, helping them get an education and improve the quality of life of a family for generations to come. Only by eradicating hunger can we promote education!
I would like to reinterate again this year, that i would like to help The Akshaya Patra achieve their mission through my Smile For Millions of  Children 250 Mile Plus Bike Ride.
Last year we all raised over £4000.00 http://www.justgiving.com/asmileformillionsofchildren-akshaypatra-swim-111/.
Our donation has enabled to feed ((Govt Upper Primary)) School of 985 children. This school is located in Rajasthan.  The school sponsorship started on 2nd July 2012, and this ends June 2013.
On August 5, 2012, The Akshaya Patra Foundation celebrated serving of its billionth meal. The celebration took place in Bangalore. The highlight of the event was the announcement that Shankar Mahadevan will henceforth be the Goodwill Ambassador for Akshaya Patra and spread its message across the world.  Shankar Mahadevan and  the well known lyricist Javed Akhtar had composed a beautiful anthem, for the organisation, which was debuted at the event.
In March 2013 The Sparkle Ball was a star-studded success and raised an incredible £300,000. The Akshaya Patra Foundation had the honour of welcoming Bollywood legends Waheeda Rehman, Javed Akhtar and Shabana Azmi who spoke in support of the charity.
As you can see, there are many famous people who are supporting this Foundation. It is evident there is this constant effort to make sure that the children in India have a future to look forward to.
A Smile for Million of Kids 250 miles Plus Bike Ride for The Akshaya Patra 2013.  Abhishek, myself, will attempt to do a 250 mile bike ride. We officially started the Bike ride on 5th April 2013. The additional bike ride members are

BIKE RIDER 1 : AASHISH  (5 YRS OLD)
BIKE RIDER 2 : ABHISHEK, BURY
BIKER RIDER 3: AKAASH , BURY
BIKE RIDER 4: ANSH , (10 YRS OLD)
BIKE RIDER 5: REEYA, (11 YRS OLD)
BIKE RIDER 6: SANDEEP, BURY
BIKE RIDER 7: VAIDEHI, (8 YRS OLD)
Akaash, Sandeep, Reeya (cousin daughter 12yr) & Vaidehi (my daughter 8 yr old) & Aashish (my son 5 yr old). All Bike Rider's will confirm the number of miles they will do in due course. We will have until 31st July 2013 to complete our 250 Mile Plus Bike Ride.
Instead of doing the whole 250 miles in 1 go, which is definetley out of my physical stamina to do so, i will do 10 miles on my rest days. I will schedule 25 days when i can do 10 miles each time. This will total up to 250 miles.

This Google Spreadsheet will be updated at all times. So please come and check our progress. This spreadsheet also includes the days we will be going to carry out the 25 x 10 miles , and additional miles.

I strongly believe that charity donation starts from myself and, no doubt other family members will donate too. Please support us all in our 250 Mile Plus Bike Ride for Akshaya Patra. We can make a difference together. I will also appeal to anyone else to do a Bike Ride to collate money for The AkshayaPatra Foundation. Please contact me , if you would like to join our group or you could make your own justgiving website.
Whilst carrying out This Bike Ride, Bike Safety will be of paramount importance. Before carrying out the Bike Ride each and everyone of us have looked through the safety points, and i would recommend you to do so too. (( http://talesoftheroad.direct.gov.uk/cycling-safety.php)). There are also some Youtube Bike Ride safety video's. Please refer to them also.
Finally, this is just a humble attempt to help other children , and any donation that myself or you make will go to very good use as can be seen from our current sponsored school in Rajasthan.

An Introduction to Akshaya Patra

Akshaya Patra - Unlimited Food For Education

Abstracts from the Official Akshaya Patra Booklet:

For Only £10 , a hungry child is fed for a year. For £2,500, an entire school of children will come out of poverty cycle, will progress, and will contribute to the growth of our planet.

"give me sunshine, give me a chance to grow up once again!"

Every morning, millions of children in India go to a different school. A school where they carry heavy bags which have no books. Because for a hungry child, plates of rice and chapati are more inviting than chapters from geography and geometry.! A child hungry for food will never be hungry for school. And, if we can't meet their hunger for bread, they will never be hungry fir books !

And that's where The Akshaya Patra Foundation comes in. The world's largest NGO-run school meal programme, feeding nearly 1.3 million underprivileged children daily in more than 8200 schools in 19 locations, across 9 states in India.

Akshaya Nidhi - Adopt a School

For Only £10. a hungry child is fed for a year. For £2500 an entire school is fed for a year. An entire school of children will come out of poverty cycle, will progress, and will contribute to the growth of our planet.

Barack Obama - "Your use of efficient and innovative business practices to scale up in just a few years from feeding 1,500 school children daily to almost a million is a powerful demonstration of what's possible when people work together.
