Benches, desks and other supplies for the Panchayat Union School at Melmanambedu, Chennai district. OPEN will spend $7500 for benches, desks, blackboards, and other supplies for the Panchayat Union school in Melmanambedu, Chennai district. Poor urban families have an idea of the opportunities that education can bring, but many rural families don't. This is OPEN's first foray into rural India. and we hope to continue this effort.
