During the last few years Benjamin Kaila has organized Ambedkar Scholarships with a small group of friends (see also Friends for Education International) though he himself had some job problems off and on in USA. I came to know of his efforts through Shivam Vij and have been in touch with him. Yesterday I sent this link to him
Cowherd excels in Class XII exams
and he already got in touch with the student and arranged a small loan. Since there were communication problems (Ramakant could not speak either English or Telugu), Benjamin has alerted a small network of friends that he developed.
Here is an old write up on Benjamin Kaila To Learn With Dignity by Shivam and a more recent one Change Makers Inc in Tehelka.
P.S. Photos of some of the beneficiaries of the micro loan program organized by Benjamin Kaila are in the photo section of this blog.
