The Story
Bodhgaya had a bad fame, where tourists are cheated and robbed. I heard many negative stories related to foreigners who spent huge amount of money for social projects (school, hospitals, charity) and have been misguided by local guides or dishonest businessmen, losing all their money. Everybody knows in Bodhgaya the play of seek-and-hide of many schools that flourish during the tourist season and disappear when the tourists are gone. The “students”, the “teachers”, the building… everything is fake. Just a show for the naïve buddhist tourists who want to receive merits practicing the paramita of generousity.
We believe that only right education can give hope to the new generations. We thought that Universal Education-Alice Project would be the best answer to poverty, criminality and unhappiness of people. As we said many times, it is not enough studying math, science, geography, history and english… We cannot change the negative trend in Bihar through all this stuff. We believe that, beside the traditional curriculum, the students must receive the opportunity to know themselves, to know how their mind is working and how to transcend the rational mind: the special program of Universal-Education-Alice Project.
