==How you can get involved==
===Donations===
Chalo Chatu is a highly-efficient non-profit project driven by a dedicated team of volunteers. You can help support our efforts by making any form of donations towards:
 
*'''Technology: ''Servers, bandwidth, maintenance, development''.''' To support our rapidly growing website and vast information, Chalo Chatu runs on a large server that comes with high monthly and yearly costs.
 
*'''Projects''': In order to research and gather information on various topics from all parts of the country, we incur logistical costs such as travel and internet bandwidth. The project currently does not have its own equipment and has been relying on individual volunteers to use their own equipment, such as computers and cameras, to gather information. This has proven difficult for those that don't have their own.
