2017 Annual Children Programs in India & Africa
India (January & September)
Africa (August 24th to 31st)
Dear Sponsors, Friends and Well-Wishers,
It was a great experience to have met close to 3,000 of our 4,000 children in both the countries during my visit to India & Democratic Republic of Congo in Africa. 17 years of Uplift a Child’s service to the world is a wonderful news. Uplift a Child annually awards all of our children who stood outstanding with a best performance in their academics. Large congregations attend these public meetings with 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. 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 ongoing 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.
During our travel, we have awarded a total of 432 awards to our children
383 Boggavarapu Awards
17 Changa & Swamy Awards
06 Vonumu Excellence Awards in India
26 Vonumu Excellence Awards in Africa (DR Congo)
You will find detailed information as you scroll through the pages. It is because of you along with our worldwide volunteers, we are able to do this. A special thanks to Uplift a Child Congo director Mr. Dechy Chinyabuuma for coordinating my visit in August and to all my Uplift a Child India staff on my 2 trips.
Best Regards
