Students from a local private school recently helped to put together a book as a way to raise money for a reading center in India.
Roughly 30 students were involved with making the book "Ravi Revs and Reads," including teens from Pacific Ridge School in Carlsbad, Cathedral Catholic in Del Mar and Kearney High School in San Diego.
"I just think that it's a really unique experience for students from three different schools to work on a project," said Chiara Dorigo, a senior at Pacific Ridge.
The book is based on Ravi Aluganti, a native of India who has worked over the last decade to provide books for children in rural schools.
Money raised by selling the book will help pay for a children's resource center, which is a permanent structure that will assist poor students who attend rural government schools in India.
The students hope to raise at least $6,000, which will help Aluganti finish the project. A private donor from New Jersey has agreed to give the center another $12,000 if the students are successful. That $18,000 will allow him to finish the center.
