[ZESTCaste] Thanks to Prof Shiva

 

Thanks to Prof Shiva

Dear donors and friends,

I do not how I could thank Prof Shiva Shankar of Chennai Mathematical Institute. Soon after I sent a donation request, he jumped into action. By now (not even 24 hours since I sent), he had sent individual emails to 90 people he knew. Several others may follow. Is writing 90 individual emails an easy task?

 

What a blessing to have such a committed friend?

 

I hope other donors and friend of FFEI write atleast one email to another person informing about our work (need not ask for donations). If you believe we are doing moderately good work (despite all constraints), please do this small help to FFEI. We need your help. Isn't every drop of water makes up a mighty ocean?

 

Please help us as our needs are so great. Last year, we took responsibility to support 50 small kids (apart for other scholarships) through our Educational Adoption program. If we do not support them, they dropped off the school.

 

So, please give generously, advertise among known people, and help us help the people who not yet see the benefits of 8% economic growth in India and who could not participate in "Shine India" campaign.

 

They are poor, impoverished, marginalized, and innocent victims of society. Is it not the responsibility of every right thinking person to come to their aid?

 

If you believe so, please help us. Looking forward to your help. We have only 2 weeks in this year.

Please visit our website www.friendforeducation.org and write to me if you have any questions.

 

At the end, THANK YOU, Prof Shiva! The kids receiving our help will be thankful to you forever.

With regards

Benjamin

2009 scholarship donations

 

Dear donors and friends,

I apologize for the delay in accepting donations for 2009 scholarships. It is delayed as we were trying to fix Organizational issues in India. I am almost done with it. Following is the progress:

1.       Friends for Education International has been registered under Friends for Education International (India Chapter)

2.       Organizational committee has been established. I will send the info in another mail

3.       Bank Account is opened (Corporate Bank, Nampally, Hyderabad)

4.       Working on getting Income Tax exemption and FRCA clearance

5.       Applications for scholarships have been received

 

So, I request for your donations. We have only 2 weeks in 2009. Please rush your donations.

For donations in USD, we will issue certificate for your tax purposes as ours is a 501(c)(3) org.

For donations in rupees, we may not be able to do so.

 

Remember that we gave more than 100 scholarships last year and I want to see atleast 50% increase this year. Please help us to help the deserving but financially and socially backward children in India. Please let your family members, friends, and colleagues know our work and encourage them to help us.

 

You can donate online or send check to US or India.
