How we will utilise these books

We started as a small team about ten years back, and worked with the local schools and communities in the rural areas adjacent to Bannerghatta National Park, in the outskirts of Bangalore. With the help of friends and well wishers, we would contribute by way of learning aids. We organized naure walks,astronomy sessions, visits to the local zoo and helped create an environment wherein the young students learnt to appreciate human relationship with the nature. We also had the opportunity to work with the local tribal people in Arunachal Pradesh, living in the vicinity of the National Parks/forests and understand the core issues of Man - Animal Conflicts and Livelihood issues. Over time, we decided to formally set up a Non Profit Organization, to channelize the efforts in a structured manner, as well as to partner effectively with the Local/National Government and people. Thus, IT Nature Trust was registered as a Non Profit Trust, with a Charter to work with a focus on key areas of Nature,Conservation and Livelihoods. With the funds, we would buy children's books for children aged 5 to 16 and establish and replenish libraries in low cost schools which cannot afford to buy them in the present conditions. We would also like to furnish these libraries with book racks and reading areas if we manage to generate the sum we have mentioned.
