Dear Friends & Sponsors,
This year has been a great year again! We are thankful to God for all His blessings on our operations in USA, India, Nepal and Philippines. 15 years of service to humanity is a wonderful thing for Uplift a Child International. 95% of our work is done by volunteers. Our work continues to grow every year. 3,000 children are able to get education in Schools today because of our commitment, dedication and all of our willingness to go that extra mile to make a difference.True help comes directly from people’s heart and I am proud to see that happen while working with all of our Uplift a Child family.
We got our first corporate sponsor this year and they are very happy with our work. ‘Newscorp’ (Dow Jones) from New York have interviewed me in person and we have won the grant. Even though they gave us a one time donation, we added value to that grant by supporting few children for life in the name of ‘Newscorp’ and will be updating them on the progress from this year. They are happy with our work and God willing, we might get more corporate donors in 2016.
I was able to meet at least 2,000 of our 3,000 children during my annual visit this year. I see them each year and see the change in their lives. We picked some of them from the slums and streets 10 to 12 years ago and now they are in their final year of schooling. I see love, gratitude, responsibility in them. I see in their eyes a zeal to succeed. I see them as our future Ambassadors to lead on what we have started. I surely know that at least 70% of these children will become like one of us and help a less fortunate one. I feel satisfied in my heart. We gave our 100%. The results are also 100%. Once again, we left NO child behind for education in our network in 2015. Whether they have a sponsor or not, we still put them through schooling. We take the risk while they get a future. Our sincere thanks to all our sponsors, Board of Directors, Staff, Schools, Volunteers and friends for the tremendous support in our operations. We would have not been successful without their helping hands.
Thank you
Sam Vonumu
