[ZESTCaste] 2009 FFEI donation request

 

As the year is ending, I requesting you again to consider donating to FFEI. We, at FFEI, and the kids depening on your donations will thank you very much for your generosity. If you cannot sponsor this year, please spread the word around. That doesn't cost anything. Someone may be interested in our work.
 
With regards

Dear Donors, Friends, and Sympathizers,

 

To those who celebrate, Merry Christmas, the birth of Jesus, the apostle of peace, compassion, and love.

 

Please ignore this email if you have already helped us in 2009 with your generous donation.

 

This is the end of the year and most importantly the season of giving. In this charitable season, can you think of helping an underprivileged child to get good education? If so, please consider our project Friends for Education International (FFEI) that has been helping such children since 2003. By doing so, you may help a kid and take the benefit of tax exemption for 2009 as we are a 501(C)(3) organization in US.  

 

Let me first thank you immensely for all the support you have been extending since 2003. It is your help that sustained us all these years to help kids from the most vulnerable and marginalized sections of Indian society – mostly Dalits or Untouchables. Without your help we wouldn't be where we are now.

 

More than ever, we need your help now. Last year, in addition to giving scholarships to those who performed well in Tenth (Class 10) examinations, we adopted 50 kids from scavenging families to support them educationally from class I. Without your help, they may have to be dropped out of the school this year.

 

We have several other projects. You may be interested one of them as well. Please check our website www.friendsforeducation.org.

 

We believe you support us this year as you have done before. Any donation (small, big, cash, or kind) will be accepted with so much gratitude as every penny will be helpful to us.  

These kids future depends on you and so we are counting you on.

 

We gain donors mostly by word of mouth. We do not have any corporate donors. We entirely depend on individuals.

 

Please spread the word among your friends, relatives, and colleagues and help us reach as many concerned individuals as we can.  Please visit our website www.friendsforeducation.org for more details and write to me if you have any questions.

An educated man without character and humility was more dangerous than a beast. If his education was detrimental to the welfare of poor, he was a curse to society.
