Dear Chandni
As you know, Comet Media Foundation or Comet is an NGO working since 1985 in the field of communications media for education. Please visit our website www.cometmedia.org for details of our activities, but here are some brief pointers:
We are wondering if you could connect us with some institutions such as schools, colleges and public libraries with unused rooms in the city area. We would be happy to enter into a partnership with such a school to provide services to its students during school hours and to the community living around it, after school hours.
Our assets include a library of over 4000 books, some 1500 films, a collection of traditional toys and a professional video studio with shooting and editing equipment. We would provide valuable training and resources based on information communication technologies (ICTs) in a manner relevant to the learners. Such a partnership would be an asset to the host school and will be reflected immediately in the creative outputs and academic results of the children. In return, we would expect about 2000 sq ft of space to work from, for which we would pay a reasonable rent, but not at market rates.
Please let us have your suggestions and introduce us to people who would appreciate such an arrangement, for the mutual benefit of all concerned.

Dear Chandni
As you know, Comet Media Foundation or Comet is an NGO working since 1985 in the field of communications media for education. Please visit our website www.cometmedia.org for details of our activities, but here are some brief pointers:
- The context of our work: the educational system in India, by and large, emphasises learning by rote and discourages creativity.
- Our mission: to develop media for education, social change and sustainability. We facilitate processes of lifelong learning, learning through living, learning from nature and community learning.
- Our vision: a society where young people are empowered from childhood through free access to the vision and method of science, through information communication technologies (ICTs) and open source culture. Such knowledge would help them to discover their full potential, to contribute to society and to experience personal fulfilment.
