Five years after my first, the London Marathon in 2019, I am now “attempting” to run the New York Marathon (42.20 kms / 26.22 miles) on Sunday, 3rd Nov ‘24 in support of "Centre for Equity & Quality in Universal Education” (CEQUE), a pedagogical NGO based in India, whose board I am part of, in non-executive capacity, since 2017. I write to you, seeking your support for CEQUE, whose primary objective is to improve the quality of student learning by upskilling & mentoring primary school teachers in public schools across a few states of India. Over the past year, CEQUE has impacted the learning outcomes of over 45,000 students, 2,700 teachers across 1,632 schools in 9 districts through their “Teacher Innovator Program“ (TIP). Learn more at [www.ceque.org](http://www.ceque.org/)

As many of you know, I recovered from a major spine surgery ~17 years back, taking up running & cycling in 2014, only due to the support & encouragement of my close family & friends, colleagues at work & spine surgeons. Supporting causes such as CEQUE are the only way I can pay back my gratitude to those who supported my journey from the operation theatre to the road! To ensure I have the required motivation to meet & exceed my goal for completing the NY marathon, I will personally pledge my donation to support the cause. I now solicit your support to pledge alongside me to motivate and benefit the noble cause.

Suggested donations below. Any other amount will be equally appreciated.

Support 1 teacher X 20 children: $300 or equivalent

Support 3 teachers X 60 children: $900 or equivalent

Support 5 teachers X 100 children: $1,500 or equivalent

It will be my pleasure to answer any questions you may have around CEQUE and their strategic plan or my impending run. We will keep you informed on the success of the fundraiser and the run!

Every Child Deserves a Great Teacher

Centre for Equity and Quality in Universal Education (CEQUE) envisions a world where every child receives quality education. 

 CEQUE's flagship Teacher Innovator Program (TIP) upskills teachers from government schools to adopt innovative teaching methods to improve student learning of the most underserved and marginalised children. These teaching methodologies equip the children with 21st-century skills of inquiry, reasoning, critical thinking, and collaboration. TIP aligns with SDG#4 on Quality Education, which aims to “ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all. Today, CEQUE is working with over 2,600 teachers reaching out to over 45,000 students across 3 states Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Karnataka, in India.

Your donation will help a public school teacher learn and adopt child-centric methods of teaching, leading to improved learning of students. A donation of $300 will support one teacher with a class of 20 students for a year.
