Ensure Education for 100 Child Laborers

Thank you dear donors,

With your generous support, 7 children who are studying 9th standard and above will be selected for getting education support. Our special thanks to Mr. Sridhar Sundaram who gave a generous donation of $1400 and made it possible. Our thanks giving will not be complete, unless we thank Mr./Ms. Laurie Duker who is continuously supporting us. The funds received are allocated towards the part payment of rent for a year ($200) and the balance to support 7 children to continue their studies. It is decided to select 7 from amongst those who compete, based on the following criteria:

• The student should be in 9th standard or above. Since the Government has made it mandatory for the schools to promote students upto 8th standard, the drop out rate increases after the 8th standard. To motivate children to continue studies without dropping out even after 8th, this criteria is laid.
• The student should be in the regular school for the 2nd year. i.e. He/she should have completed atleast one year in regular school after New Life has mainstreamed them.
• The student must have scored a minimum of 40% marks in the examinations. This is to motivate the sincere and hardworking students.
• Last but not the least, they are from BPL (Below Poverty Line) category. This is to provide opportunity to the most deprived.

Case studies are being collected and 7 deserving children who were formerly child labourers will be selected for support. It is tentatively fixed to provide the support on November 14th (Children's Day). And our staff are busy on the move.

Keep waiting  for our next report to know who are all selected.

Thank you once again for the noble support.

With love and regards
