Ensure Education for 100 Child Laborers

Dear friends,

Suma (name changed) is living in Kaja Pettai and was stitching sacks. She is 13 years old and due to her poor family background, she had to drop out from school while she was in 7th standard. She started supporting her family financially by stitching sacks. Her soft hands had wounds caused by the needle used in stitching sacks.

The teacher of our special school, saw her sitting in front of her home and was perplexed by her tear filled eyes. She went near Suma and inquired what happened. Suma was first hesitant to narrate her story, then she told about her fate and her interest to continue her studies. So the teacher, together with the counselor met Suma's mother and convinced her to send Suma to the special school. Now Suma is in the special school, and she might be admitted to the regular school next academic year.

The salary for the teachers, the lunch expenses and part of the rent of New Life's special schools are now being supported by a funder. And your beloved organisation is now approved by the Government to give free trainings in its premises for people above 14 years. Hence what we require now is support for the balance of the rent ($10 per center per month) and the education expenses (fees, notebooks, learning materials, etc.) to an extent of $180 on an average per child per annum for 25. Hence we need your continued support to educate these children. We will be making the necessary changes in the project soon. 

We thank you for the support you have been providing so far. Kindly support the project by spreading  words too to your friends and relatives. You know them better and your words carry weight. 

With gratitude 

New Life Team
