Dear friends,
First and foremost let me just say thank you for your kindness and support.
The period of November through January is always a special time: closing an old year and looking forward to a new one. In 2018, we could provide medical, educational, nutritional and social support for 30 children. We are eager to improve these services in 2019 so every child receives the care they deserve.
Support Dayspring children
We are grateful to announce that we raised $35,674 for our project so far! These donations helped us to cover school fees, supplemental education, nutrition and the maintenance of our Dayspring Home. We still need $44,326 to reach our goal of raising $80,000 to provide care for HIV positive affected orphans. With our project, we aim to ensure that vulnerable children live happy and healthy lives, leading them to become successful adults.
Healthcare
Last month many children caught the flu. We we could provide medicines for each ill child. One child was worse off than the others, so we took her to Madurai Hospital to see a doctor. He gave us additional medicines and healthcare suggestions. Luckily all children are well now.
Celebrating Christmas
December was a festive month for us and the children of Dayspring Home. Thanks to donations through GlobalGiving, complemented by local donations, we could make our children happy with wonderful gifts for Christmas: chocolates, cake and nice clothing. We celebrated Christmas with fun activities such as dancing, games and a special dinner.
Give the gift of nutrition
Quality nutrition is essential to grow up healthy and strong. Moreover, fruits are a necessary nutrition children with HIV to stay healthy. Therefore, we want to provide fruits, vegetables and eggs on a daily basis to our Dayspring children. These mandatory vitamins and fiber contribute to children’s physical and mental growth which will lead them to become better students, and thus have a better future as well.
This year we started the quality nutrition campaign to fund a larger food budget. As in all our programs, sustainability is vital in order to keep quality nutrition for Dayspring Home for the whole year we must raise: INR 5,390,280.00 / USD 75,468.00 / EUR 64 680,00.
Thank you for your contribution. Together we can provide our children with a healthy future!
