Ensured childhood to 40 deprived children in India

Dear Donors,

Happy to meet you all once again! 

The early learning centre is functioning well with your kind support. The children have beat up the heat with the fun and learning in the centre. During this quarter we received 34$ as donations. We had an unspent balance of $617.5 Out of this $549 was spent on Food, Rent, Teacher's Salary, Cook's Salary and other expenses. 

Mathu (name changed) is 5 years old and is born to an alcoholic addicted father and a poor mother. Mathu's father is working in a barber shop. Due to some problems he is not living with his wife. Hence Mathu, her brother and her mother are living in her grandpa's house. Mathu's mom should earn for her two children and hence is working as a servant maid in the nearby colony. 

When Mathu's mother goes out to work, there is no one to take care of the little cute child. The income earned does not allow the mother to feed her two children sufficiently and nutritiously. Taking the child to work also affected the work. It is during that time, Mathu's mom came to know about New Life's early learning centre. She got Mathu admitted in our centre. Now Mathu gets a nutritious meal from the early learning centre. She is taken care of by the New Life team and her mother can work in two more houses now which has increased their income. Mathu is also getting quality early learning education.

All the above is possible only with the support from donors like you. We need to mobilise more donations if the centre should function continuously and to feed, to protect and educate the poor little children admitted to the centre. We request your goodselves to spread words about the project to your friends and relatives so that these children can have a full meal a day.

Thanking you

Hi Donors,

Can you imagine what a great sight it would have been to see the children from our early learning centre posing as great leaders of our country? There was a parade of small icons of Mahathma Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Subramaniya Bharathi, Jansi Rani Lakshmi Bai, Nethaji Subash Chandra Bose, Avvaiyar, etc. on the Republic Day Celebrations held on 26.1.2017 in our Kaja Pettai community. Flag was hoisted and special events were conducted together with the children from our coaching class and special school for child labourers. Prizes were given to the small children who participated in the fancy dress competition. It had been a great day! 

The girl posing as Mother Teresa is born to Ahamed and Mani (names changed). Mani is the second wife of Ahamed and his first wife died due to the drunken beatings of Ahamed. Mani came to know about this only after her marriage. Ahamed continues drinking and beating his wife. He hardly gives any money for family expenses. He hates girl children and seldom takes care of them. Mani should work to feed the two small girls but there was no one to take care of the small children. The first girl born to the first wife aged 6 goes to the nearby government school. The second one aged 2 should be taken care of. Mani admitted the second child in New Life's early learning centre. She says with relief, "I am earning now by doing household works in the nearby houses and can take care of the family necessities like my children's food and other needs. This is possible only because my younger child is in New Life's early learning centre. Otherwise I might have stayed back in home struggling for food. New Life's early learning centre is a boon to mothers like me. We are grateful to the people who donate to New Life for feeding our children and taking care of them." 

Women like Mani are now worry free about the safety of their children below 6 and are going to jobs which help them run their families. This is made possible only by your noble support for running the early learning centre dear donors. The mothers are also happy that their children get a nutritious meal in the noons. 

During this quarter we received $59.5 and donations through other channels are $1090. Out of this $532 is spent for food, rent, teacher's & cook's salary and other expenses for the creche. For the next three months we have funds. But to continue the creche we need your continued support.

Kindly help these poor children and their mothers by spreading words dear donors. Your words carry weight. Share the below link with your friends and relatives and help us serve these poor children continuously:
