A Unique School in the "Land of a Million Gods"
To the German Version
The Bund für Geistesfreiheit supports the Atheist Centre's school in Varni!
Click here to read the English translation of a lecture which Prof. Mark Lindley gave in Munich in April 2007 about this project.
We offer three possibilities for supporting the School with a donation:
- To cover all the costs (including room and board) for one student for one academic year (eleven months): $270 (or 222 €).
- To cover all the costs for one student for one semester: $135 (or 111 €).
- To pay a teacher's salary for one month $105 (or 87 €).
Please note:
- Your entire gift will be conveyed to the School and will be tax-deductable in the USA (if it is in dollars and is conveyed via the Humanist Association of Massachusetts: see below) or in Germany (if in euros).
- If your gift is for one (or more) of the units of donation described above, you will get an e-mail informing you that the School has received it.
- (If you supply a teacher's $105 monthly salary, the e-mail will tell you for which month you have done this and will give you the teacher's name and say which subject or which grade (if it happens to be a teacher of very young children) [s]he teaches. If you donate in support of a student, the e-mail will tell you his or her first name & gender and will say for which semester or which year [s]he will be supported by your donation, and which grade [s]he will be in. In order to avoid heavy administrative costs, you will receive neither a photo nor an ostensibly personalized long letter with sentences like "Little Ahmed is a quiet boy who likes to read books" or "Shanti is a lively girl who loves to run and skip.")
- For donations in dollars, please write a check to "HAM" and send it to HAM, Box 381125, Cambridge MA 02238 (USA). Write "SAV" on the memo line, and put in the envelope also a piece of paper with your name, your e-mail address (very clearly written, please!) and the amount that you are donating.
- For donations in euros, please use the following Bankverbindung:
