In our current unpredicatable world, looking as if gone mad, with ebols surrounding U.S. within and throughout, such ugly times cries out for relief. Thus I'm overjoyed Rubina Cook brought me this story of altruism; which is a welcomed respite.
Annapurna Mohan sold her jewelry to supply her class

Walk into the Class 3 English class taught by Annapurna Mohan at this school in Tamil Nadus Villupuram, and youll have trouble believing that youre standing in a government school.
From an interactive smartboard to colourful and comfortable furniture to the stacks of English-language books, this classroom in the Panchayat Union Primary School (PUPS), Kandhadu seems as fine as any in a well-funded international school. And whats more, the students speak crisp and clear English, as fluently and comfortably as if theyve been speaking it all their lives.
But the students of this classroom are fortunate to have had Annapurna Mohan for a teacher, She has not only struggled hard to build her students language skills, but has even sold her own jewellery to create the kind of classroom she feels her pupils deserve.

I think it would be very cool, if someone here, started a Democratic Underground cloud-funding effort, for U.S. to send Annapurna Mohad, a blessing for her class; because others might do simiar - elsewhere.
.......I'm in to start it off some $$$
