Desktop computers to teach children of tea garden workers | Tamulpur (Assam)

This came through Fr. Augustine. These missionary sisters are teaching computer skills along with other subjects to school drop-out children, most of whom are the children of tea garden workers. Their existing desktop computers are very old and they just have 2 of them...I spoke to them and the quote what they have got also seem to be reasonable (15 K). I have already got commitment from extended group for 2 of them.  Lets buy one from the group fund as well.  Let me know what you think.

PU college fees for Arati | Snehasadhan/ Diamond PU college

Arati has been one of the 20+ students we've been supporting over the past few years from Snehasadhan (Bidar). Even after she moved from Snehasadhan/Anugraha School to Diamond School in Bhalki, we continued supporting her because she was doing really well academically. Last year, she completed her 10th and scored an impressive 97%! She’s now got admission to Diamond PU College, Bhalki. After scholarships and some further discussions, the management has brought her fees down from ₹70K to ₹30K. They've requested for continued support, and I feel we should definitely go ahead with it. What do you guys think?

Regarding Education Support for Divya's sisters (Navya & Kavya)

 Dear Antony,


As we discussed earlier, we offered our support to Dhivya's sister for their school admission, and here is an update on that.

Kavya (11th standard) took admission at a government school in Thodupuzha, and there is a hostel facility for ST students nearby.

Navya (8th standard) secured admission at another government school near Adimali, which offers a pre-metric hostel facility.

Tanushree's father is a daily wage labourer, and her mother is a homemaker. She has a younger sister who also studies at Anugraha School, and a baby brother who is just 8 months old. The family is facing financial difficulties and is in need of our support to ensure continued education for their children.
