Kickstarter

I talked to the co-Founder of Pratham - USA over the long weekend. His name is Yogi Patel, and he agreed to be my judge when the time comes. He introduced me to "Read-a-thon" online, and told me to use it to raise money for my project. Also, he helped me start my own kick starter. I want to add a video on my Kickstarter page so donors could have a visual of my project. I started working on a photo album for the page and researching statistics of domestic violence, rape, abuse, acid attacks, and illiteracy of women in India. I have contacted the founder of Stop Acid Attacks, but I still have not heard back from him. I am writing my mission statement and goals for the Kickstarter. Today, I worked on some of the statements and technical additions to my Kickstarter page. After the page is mostly complete, I will encourage others to visit my page through social media.

Some similar programs I found:

DARE program:

1. To teach Avoidance of first Hostile Intrusion (To avoid Hostile situations)
2. To Teach Verbal & Eye Response to Hostile Intrusion (When he comes uncomfortably close)
3. To Teach Reaction to First Physical Contact. (When he grabs your hand)
4. To Teach Use of Force to Counter Aggression. (When he starts using force)
5. To Teach Defense Tactics to Sexual Assault. (When tries to tear your clothes) 
6.  To Teach Survival & Escape Maneuvers in attempted Rape. (When he tries to penetrate)
7. To Teach a Fitness Program for Surviving Adversity. (The Exercises to get fit in a short time)
8. To educate about Legal perspectives in Sexual offense (The Law & what is to be done)

The program's goal is to introduce women to real life adverse situations.
