Rising Star Outreach
There are many, many languages and dialects spoken There are many, many languages and dialects spoken within the borders of India! Some of the languages spoken in the regions Rising Star Outreach is present in are Hindi, Tamil, Odia, Marathi, and Bihari. English is considered the language of business so our students learn it at school through a dual language immersive classroom experience to help prepare them for career opportunities. Professionals working in India that speak English can expect an increase in earning potential which will allow them to better provide for themselves and their families. Not only does this skill help students secure jobs and income after graduation, but their presence in the workplace helps erase the stigma associated with leprosy! ⁠ ⁠ Comment “STAR” in the language(s) you speak! ⭐ ⁠

Why give now? ⭐ Because parents need medical car Why give now? ⭐ Because parents need medical care so they can get back to work. This will allow their children to pursue an education rather than providing for the family by begging in the streets.
Rising Star Outreach is informed by the belief tha Rising Star Outreach is informed by the belief that⁠ ⭐ All people deserve dignity and respect. ⁠ ⭐ Everyone has something to offer the world.⁠ ⭐ Life should be intellectually, socially, emotionally, and spiritually uplifting and edifying.⁠ ⁠ We envision a world that embraces these values and rejects stigma. We strive to accomplish this vision by lifting the leprosy affected, empowering them as individuals, developing sustainability in their communities, and by inspiring others to action.⁠ ⁠ --Rising Star Outreach's Values and Vision
On March 24, 2020, India went into a complete lock On March 24, 2020, India went into a complete lockdown with only four hours notice. The leprosy colonies were immediately plunged into dire circumstances to obtain food and medicines. Rising Star Outreach began to receive frantic calls from various colonies begging us for help. People from the leprosy colonies said they did not fear the virus nearly as much as they feared starving to death. India is now one of the hotspots for the virus and areas of the country are still under mandatory lockdown (including the region where our main campus is located).⁠ ⁠ Since then, Rising Star Outreach's team has been working tirelessly to provide support in the form of food, medicines, and wound care kits to members of over 170 colonies in 9 states across India. Over 1/3 of these are colonies that we have previously never been able to work with. Thanks to our partners like APAL, LEPRA, UNICEF, and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we've been able to reach more people than ever before. So far, we have reached over 10,380 families -- 52,320 individuals -- with this relief effort, and the work is still ongoing. Our students are remaining at home with their families and we are preparing resources to allow them to maintain their education through remote learning as this pandemic continues. ⁠ ⁠ We will continue to keep you updated on the situation. In the meantime, we just want to acknowledge that we could not have done this without our many partners and supporters, locally and abroad! Because of you, lives are literally being saved each day. Please consider helping us during this time so that we can continue to provide these necessary services. The link in our bio will direct you to our donation portal.⁠ ⁠ With thanks, the entire Rising Star Outreach family⁠
