Hello all!!
So some progressive news here at Basti Ram. We have just finished applying for the Comic Relief international grants: Street and Working Children and Young People's programme. This grant is focusing on the project with the boys from the destitute home and supporting and guiding them with skills, knowledge and time to find decent employment for when they leave the home.
So what does this mean to you and your donation?
The project we have designed involves a lot of planning and effort. The money raised is an amazing achievement and we are so grateful for the support. By also receiving the grant we would be able to give more to the boys - by the way of teachers to train the boys on specific skills, arrange events with the local communities to publicise the work we are doing and to network with local orgs and businesses to help set up links for the boys. This is something that would not be achievable with the donations - your support has enabled us to offer to Comic Relief what we can provide to this project!
We will keep you updated if we are successful in achieving funding! Fingers, Toes, Arms and Legs Crossed xxxx
