Dasve Public School is in Lavasa, a city close to Pune in India. The school is attended by children aged 4 to 12 years old. Originally set up to educate children from underprivileged villages near to Lavasa, the school is now suffering from a lack of funding, affecting a number of teachers, availability of resources and basic maintenance. On a recent visit to the school, Jonathan, Abhishek and several Black Piano members met with the Headteacher, staff and children. We were all struck by the immense efforts and commitment of the teaching staff as well as the drive and ambition of the children. We had to do something... For a number of years, Black Piano’s members have been voluntarily contributing from their salaries every month to Dasve Public School. Black Piano doubles whatever contribution is made, and is working closely with the School to go further in 2024.
