Enthused by a hearty learning adventure of initiating National Expansion across 10+ regions of India through Public-Private Partnerships in 2022-23, early this January 2024, Oasis launched its Pay It Forward project Internationally. The objective is to bring together like-hearted Educators engaged with Alternative Schools including Democratic institutions, Non profits, Community Leadership and so on from around the globe on a platform of Friendship.
These global partnerships involve learning & sharing Universal principles of character education through Oasis L3 Course and taking these programs to the young generation, parents and educators in their local regions/countries. This non-commercial engagement is based on the selfless Spirit of Giving.
The Project is named as -
Oases Friendship International (Universal Education for Living, Loving & Learning)

"You propose a combination of East-West wisdom and that is very much needed nowadays. You teach not only how to become a better & successful person but how to make this world a better place as well.
