In the midst of this ocean
of destitution, there are
islands of light, islands of
knowledge, islands of
hope. The YES schools are
some of these islands. The
YES program encompasses
dozens of
children’s schools, women’s vocational training programs,
and two orphanage/gurukuls.
The children and women in the YES program are given
not only an education, but they are also given the
priceless gifts of hope and faith.
The YES program is dedicated to providing poor, illiterate
and orphaned children a positive, nurturing
environment, and to giving them the best chance
possible to live a life free from destitution and despair.
Gurukul/Orphanage
One visit to India is sufficient to see the urgent, dire
need for orphanages. However, simple shelters with
food, beds and babysitters are not sufficient. These
children need not only to be fed and sheltered. Rather,
they also need to be educated and trained so they can
become productive members
of society. They need
to be inculcated with values,
ethics and spirituality
which will make them
torchbearers of Indian
culture.

Our two Gurukuls/
Orphanages serve as
places where 150 of
these children are housed
as well as educated, cultured
and filled with
crucial values such as
non-violence, truth and
seva.
Their days are filled with academic studies, yoga,
meditation, Vedic chanting, reading of scriptures,
seva and special programs designed to instill in them
essential sanskaras.
Looks of hopelessness have become looks of optimism
and hope. Lightless eyes have become bright, shining
eyes. Feelings of destitution and despair have become
feelings of pride, faith and enthusiasm.

Prior to this project, there
were no medical facilities
