Tsunami Recovery in Four Fishing Villages, India

Dear Global Giving benefactors, we especially thank all those who contributed these past two years to make a difference in the life of many suffering people in Southern India. Enclosed new MMP-MC annual report (10 pages, India in front) will brief you on progress made and work still to be done to complete this post-tsunami project hopefully this year. E-mail us if you have specific questions and we will be pleased to respond. With the remarkable partnership we have in India with Jeevana Samridhi Charity/Jesus Youth non-profit, each dollar is going a long way in helping beneficiaries rebuild their lives, homes, health and livelihoods, and in sending boys and girls to school. Our ratio of management cost to core program expenses is a low 5% placing MMP-MC --although a small Charity--among the best non-profits for financial performance and good use of your donations. God bless you all. Claudine (see attachment)
