Educational Financial Request for Ayesha and Ujefa | Sneha Jyothi School (Raichur, North Karnataka)

Ayesha is in 2nd standard and Ujefa is in 3rd standard. Their dad committed suicide in 2018  because of financial issues.  School is giving 50% concession. So, it will be Rs 5500 for Ayesha and and Rs 6000  for Ujefa for the whole year.

We can pay it using our internal  fund if we don't get any family to sponsor them.

Hope you remember Sobhavati for whom we had constructed a small house couple of years back. She works as a help in Anugraha school (same school where 18 kids from Snehsadan hostel are studying).

Recognizing top performers @ Snehasadan

I had requested Sr Ashley to send the list of top performers @ Snehasadan so that we can recognize them  by giving them some small gifts. Sr also agreed that it will be a great motivation for them. Sr suggested to give them a school bag.  

I'm keeping a budget of 500-750 Rs per head and lets do this from our internal fund. I will order it online.

Good news is 10 out of the 18 children have scored more than 90% !!!

Help for Anurag's surgery

 Antony,

 

  Below is the case we discussed. Have spoken to father. They are planning to do surgery this month. Hospital has not given a clear estimate. They said they have seen misuse of it and later becoming case against hospital. Expect expense of 5 to 6L. He will need multiple surgeries. This is the first among them. If the surgery is not done then spine will crack and he will be bed ridden for life. there is a video of the procedure as well.

 

 

Fund raising for Vinayan and family - Request for support

Hi Antony,

I am driving a fund raising to support a family in my hometown.

His name is Vinayan, a daily-wage worker who is suffering from lung issues leading to reduced oxygen level in blood. This issue started few years back, and then onwards he is not able to work, or even walking 100 meters makes him breathless. His father had same disease and that lead to death around 2017 timeframe.

College fees for Excillina - Garopara village (Recurring)

We started supporting this case from last June through external funding based on a request that came from Fr Augustine (Guwahati, Assam).

Excillina and her family is from Garopara village in Goalpara district , Assam.  It's a tribal belt and there's hardly any one from that community who goes for further studies even if they complete 10th or 12th , primarily because of financial problems. There are no colleges nearby and most of the girls get married at very young age as there is no scope for further studies. What I have been told is that she is the first girl from her community to pursue higher studies and hopefully she will inspire many !!
