Dear Sponsors, Friends and Well-Wishers,
We are delighted to share our experience after returning back to the USA on completion of our successful trip to India. At the outset, we thank God for rendering his blessings over the15th successful year of our service to the underprivileged children in India, Nepal and the Philippines. Our family along with our core team had the privilege of meeting our children to celebrate their success and share their burden while striving to succeed.
Uplift a Child annually awards all our children who stood outstanding with a best performance in their academics. Large congregations attend these public meetings among which most of them are our children, their surviving parents, school staff, sponsors, Government executives, social workers, friends and well-wishers. Our special focus is to inspire and encourage the award recipients who achieved it without much of parental care and support. Our commitment is to “create future leaders with concrete human values”, so we inspire our children with practical speeches which are useful for developing their skills and abilities. These ceremonies create a festive environment and our children and parents cannot wait for such occasions every year. We personally visited 90% of our children in India and our staff visited our children in Nepal. Rena Vonumu has also conducted one program on her own by going to India 2 weeks in advance. Each year we are nearing in achieving our goal of creating future leaders and better citizens of the country. Along with God’s blessing, we appreciate the steady and on going support of our sponsors and tireless efforts of our volunteers which is enabling us to move forward in serving humanity with the gift of education. Naveen Dasari has completed the Nepal trip behalf of Uplift a Child. We will be touching 3000 children this year (with an addition of 700 new children). It is not our intention to keep increasing the numbers but unable to turn away the eligible children who lost a father or mother to death.
