Zuckerberg developed an interest in computers at an early age; when he was about 12, he used Atari BASIC to create a messaging program he named "Zucknet.“

Synopsis(contd.) It was at that time that he built a program called

CourseMatch, which helped students choose their classes based on the course selections of other users.

Project Case:

Manav Sadhna

MISSION

Manav Sadhna is a non profit organization based in a quiet corner of Mahatma Gandhi’s Ashram, Ahmedabad. At Manav Sadhna, we navigate with the philosophy of love all, serve all.

By seeing God in every individual (Manav), mere service is transformed into worship (Sadhna).

To this end, Manav Sadhna is engaged in constructive humanitarian projects that cut across barriers of class and religion while addressing issues faced by socio-economically neglected segments of society.

In executing this mission, Manav Sadhna is guided by Mahatma Gandhi’s unshakable beliefs in love, peace, truth, non-violence and compassion.

HISTORY In 1990, a team of young volunteers, inspired by Gandhian

values, began gathering under the branches of a tree in the Gandhi Ashram every Saturday to play with street children.

They provided the children with a nutritional meal and taught them about basic hygiene by cutting their nails and bathing them.

This activity quickly came together into a full time endeavor working to brighten the future of underprivileged children.

Under the guidance of Gujarat Harijan Sevak Sangh, Safai Vidyalaya and Environmental Sanitation Institute (ESI), Manav Sadhna was established both in India and in the United States.

Today, from a quiet corner in the Gandhi Ashram, Manav Sadhna serves more than 8000 children and women through more than 35 projects.
