Dear friends,
Thank you very much for your support to our children's request for new clothes on Diwali. We raised a total of $400+ towards new clothes. We utilised this amount for purchase of kurta pyjamas for boys.
Let us take this opportunity to share an update about our activities over the last few months.
Thank you so much for your support over the last several years. Sphoorti children are doing fine. Your support has been making a lot of difference in the lives of our children.
Our children Pravallika (STD VII) and Gautam (STD VIII) were part of the teams which won 1st and 3rd prizes at Anveshana 2018 - a Science and Engineering Fair.
In the recent months, we added more Gond children from Adilabad and Kumram Bhim districts. There are 24 Gond children in all.
We are planning to add another block which can accommodate 100 children.
As part of our Bikes campaign, we distributed the first lot of 12 bikes on Dec 25 to STD IX children (10 boys and 2 girls). The rest will be given by Feb end.
