PART I, LINE 2:FRIENDS OF RAMANA'S GARDEN, INC. ("FRIENDS") MONITORS THE USE OF GRANT FUNDS ISSUED TO RAMANA'S GARDEN INDIA BY REVIEWING CERTIFIED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE NON-PROFIT IN INDIA, AND BY COMPARING THE GRANT FUNDS SENT TO INDIA WITH THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN AND STAFF SUPPORTED TO ENSURE THEY ARE REASONABLE. IN MARCH 2023, SCOTT ATTAWAY, VICE PRESIDENT AND GENERAL COUNSEL OF FRIENDS, VISITED RAMANA'S GARDEN INDIA FOR 11 DAYS. HE MET EXTENSIVELY WITH THE DIRECTOR OF RAMANA'S GARDEN INDIA, WITH TEACHERS AND STAFF, AND WITH MANY OF THE APPROXIMATELY 200 STUDENTS AT SCHOOL THERE. MR. ATTAWAY ALSO OBSERVED LIVE SESSIONS IN EACH OF THE APPROXIMATELY 12 CLASSROOMS AT RAMANA'S GARDEN INDIA. RAMANA'S GARDEN ALSO HAS A REGULAR SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCE WITH NUMEROUS PHOTOS AND VIDEOS OF RAMANA'S KIDS POSTED FOR ALL TO SEE. IN THE PAST, OTHER BOARD MEMBERS OF FRIENDS HAVE VISITED RAMANA'S GARDEN AND REPORTED BACK TO THE BOARD THAT OPERATIONS THERE ARE HIGHLY EFFECTIVE AS MR. ATTAWAY ALSO OBSERVED IN MARCH 2023. IN ALL EVENTS, THESE FINANCIAL STATEMENT REVIEWS, SITE VISITS, AND SOCIAL MEDIA REVIEWS HAVE CONFIRMED THAT THE FUNDS ARE BEING PUT TO THEIR PROPER AND DESIGNATED USE TO SUPPORT THE CHILDREN'S HOUSING, EDUCATION, AND MEDICAL CARE.
