Safe shelter & future for deprived Indian children

"Madam, I work as a supervisor in a company here in Delhi. My husband takes good care of me and we are happy. I am also taking tuition to small children in our locality and earning more money for our future. Our home taught me not to waste time and money. Thank you so much for grooming me." The happy shouting of Punitha over phone is echoing in my ears even now. Punitha is one of the children who joined our home when it was started. She completed her S.S.L.C. Then she got married to a boy who is working in Delhi three months ago (at the age of 18). Now I am astonished and happy to see her grow and happily settled in life.

Your  generous donations, help us support these children who are single-parented. They are left without care and affection and are vulnerable to abuse.  Their parents are much bothered about their daily earnings than their children. This could not blamed as they are in utter poverty and the daily survival itself is a big problem for them.

These children once they are admitted in our New Life home have good food, shelter and a couple of dresses a year besides education. And the home can provide all this, buy fuel, groceries, vegetables and milk, pay the cook's salary and can take the children to doctor in times of need. All this is possible only because of your noble donations. The local contributions in the form of food and materials on special occassions of families from the locality also add to the cart. 

The children are eating healthy, staying fit, studying hard and playing happily just because we can maintain the home with your support. Kindly spread words about the home to your friends and relatives, who are like minded and help these children grow.

Thanking you. 

"Hurray! We are back to school and in the next class" happily shouts the children in Poonjolai, our home. After a month's vacation, the children are back to school in the month of June. They are so happy to be with their friends in the school and home, though occassionally we can find the pinch of sadness in face as they had to come away from their near and dear ones.

We, at New Life are much pressurised this year as Sathya should write her High school final exams. She is to be coached specially as she finds it a little difficult to study Maths and English. She is spending additional hours studying besides attending the Communicative English class. The others are as playful as they are.  

A donor gave a mixie as donation to the home. We are trying to rope in volunteers to come during the weekends to spend time with the children. The children are given healthy nutritious meal and since this is the beginning of the academic year, we are mobilising donations for their educational needs.

The home is functioning with the generous support from people like you and we are grateful from making this possible. Kindly spread words to your friends and relatives as we are only providing the minimum basic needs to the children due to paucity of funds. If we can mobilise more funds, we will be in a better position to provide them with extra skills coaching.

Thanking you
