Hi Roopesh, -Regarding the size of sponsorship, I would be great if I can get travel support. -I believe in-person meeting, having interactions and attending will have a huge impact over webinars. -Sure. This was one of the things in my mind like adding support to Hindi and small Hindi alphabet recognization and playing activity. Also, in the joining different province to make a country activity which exist now (oops ! I cant recall the name), I also thought of adding Indian states- this will make small Indian kids recognize different states, where it is located, how many are there etc. With a little more effort, if we can include capital of every state that would also be great ! An actiivity regarding recipes of Indian dishes will also be cool :) These are few which involves adding activities specific to Indian audience.
