Ensured childhood to 40 deprived children in India

Dear Donors,

Hope you are all safe and healthy. Wishing that we all be saved from this pandemic.

The outbreak of pandemic COVID-19 has worst affected the families, New Life works with. 

New Life's early learning centre and coaching classes had to stop functioning since March 17th. In most of the families, the breadwinners are either daily wage earners or low profile job workers. The pandemic has affected the income of these families worstly and they had been striving hard to feed their children when the lock down was announced by the Government. Tamil Nadu was locked down since March 24. And the lock down for all works was lifted on May 11th in Trichy. However the public transportation started functions with safety restrictions from June 8th. Till then it had been a great struggle for the poor to go to work. 

Knowing the suffering of the people, we mobilised money to supply relief materials for these families. We succeeded in supplying 60 relief kits in April 2020 to the families of our children benefitted by early learning centre and coaching classes. The relief kit contained 9 items (rice, dhal, chickpeas, tamarind, masala powders, oil, soap, etc).

There is still a restriction for the children to come to school. So to support these poor families whose economy has been greatly affected, New Life started giving (only) food to our early learning children from June 8th. All safety measures are ensured to see that we provide safe and nutritious food to our children. We pray that the world will soon recover from the effects of COVID-19 and start functioning normally. We are waiting to see our beautiful children coming back to our learning centre and coaching classes soon. 

Aathika's (name changed) mother says that, " My husband is working in a shoe shop and I roll beedis. We had no work and thus no income during this Corona widespread. My daughter is studying in the early learning centre of New Life. The kit supplied by New Life was very helpful to our family. And now they are providing food to our two small children. This has reduced our burdent to a great extent. I thank New Life and its donors for helping us."

We thank all our donors for their valuable support to our organisation to provide food to the poor kids in spite of all odds and economic crunch during this pandemic. Kindly spread words about our work to  your friends and relatives so that we can continue to provide food to our children.

Thanking you once again.

Stay safe! 

With regards

Dear Donors,

Krish (name changed) is a dull boy.  He will be two years old by this April but he could not speak. His motor skills are not age-appropriate. He is not trained in toilet habits. He was admitted to our early learning centre as his mother strongly trusts us. Her first daughter studied in our centre and is now admitted to the school. 

Krish’s father is a painter and earns $90 per month and the income is also not stable. He spends a major chunk of his income on alcohol. His mother is sick and could not go to work. With the least income earned by his father, they have to feed 5 mouths in the house. When his father could not find work, it becomes much difficult for the family to maintain their monthly expenses especially the food expenses. 

His mother says, "Krish is slowly learning the toilet habits after coming to the centre. Before joining the learning centre, he was very dull. With the little income my husband earns and with his drinking habit, it is very difficult for me to feed the children. Now I am relieved that Krish gets her meal regularly. His health has improved. I thank the donors for helping my child." 

The Republic Day of India on the 26th of January was celebrated in Kajapet. It was  overwhelming to see our cute children dressed up as great Indian leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, Subash Chandra Bose, Ambedkar, Bharatha Matha, police officers, teachers, etc. Cultural events and speeches were given by the children from coaching class and the special school for child labourers. The national flag was hoisted and sweets distributed to all. 

We appeal to you dear donors to continue supporting our cute children, help them grow physically and learn qualitatively. Kindly support us by spreading words about this project to your friends and relatives. Your words carry weight. 

Thanking you.

With regards
