Give an Indian Child Home, Food & Schooling

I am excited to share our first quarterly report of 2023.

• It was a humbling experience for me to witness SANTI's progress in the past decade with your support. At the conclusion of 2022, I took a moment to reflect on our accomplishments and was filled with emotion at the tremendous impact we had made for all the kids associated with SANTI.
• I was delighted to spend this double festive season—Christmas and New Year 2022–2023—together with the SANTI children and my family. It filled my heart with joy to witness their celebrations.
• On January 26th, Republic Day and Saraswati Puja were observed by the children at the school premises. The children danced to a traditional Sambalpuri song.
• To ensure our children's well-being, health screenings were conducted regularly to check for any potential illnesses or conditions. Fortunately, the results showed that they are in a good state of health.
• On March 8th, our CCC youngsters celebrated the joyous Holi festival of color. You can see some colorful pictures. 

Thank you for your continued support, 

Dear Friends,

I hope you are enjoying the holidays in the United States and the festival season in India. Here are some of the interesting events that have taken place in our Child Care Center.

• Raksha Bandhan was celebrated on 8th Nov’22 with OM Santi BrahmatmaKumari in our ccc. Raksha Bandhan is a symbol of love between sisters and brothers, where a sister ties a sacred thread (Rakhi) to the brother.

• Our children celebrated Independence Day at SANTI Child Care Centre, with a theme of Azadika Amrit Mahotsav 75 Years.

• Shree Ganesh Puja is a Hindu festival which commemorates the birth of the Hindu god Ganesh and the Santi children celebrated and offered prayers to the lord Ganesh.

• A birthday program for Shree Sharada Prasad Nayak, MLA Rourkela, and District Planning Board, Chairman was celebrated in our CCC. Madhuri Lugun, Chairperson, Vice Chairman Md. Irfan, and more than 50 well-wishers were present in the celebration.

• Diwali was celebrated among our children. M/s. Bapi Samal, a friend of Santi, provided one 36-inch LED TV to the Centre in this occasion.

• Children's festival was celebrated in presence of members from the Indian Institute for Production Management, IIPM Kansbahal, in our SANTI Training building.
