Subject: Sangat 2009 : Light of Life Trust

Dear Chandni,

 

This is following our correspondence.

 

Warmest Seasons greeting from all of us at the Light of Life Trust!

We take this opportunity to inform you that the Mehli Mehta Music Foundation will be presenting the first concert of their Sangat Series 2009 in support of Light of Life Trust.  This chamber music concert of the 18th December at the NCPA will be a fund raiser for the Light of Life Trust.

We established the Light of Life Trust in 2002 as a nonprofit organization to realize the untapped potential of India’s rural children and empower them. We believe that no child should be forced to drop out of school as the kind of start they get will determine their foundations for the future.

Anando – an initiative launched to give disadvantaged children access to education and relevant activities leading to holistic development, reaches out to over 2000 children today.

Jagruti – the second initiative through a community approach aims to empower different target groups – children, women in need & senior citizens in one campus to  mutually enrich each other’s lives in a joyful and harmonious setting. A medical diagnostic centre has also been envisaged as an integral part of this project.

Christmas is round the corner bringing with it a desire to share love and joy with everyone around us. We at the Light of Life Trust wish to take this precious gift of sharing and caring to our wards in the remote villages of Maharashtra.

Your sponsorship for the concert or an advertisement in our souvenir will go a long way in making a qualitative difference in the lives of many needy and deserving individuals of the cause. Details of the programme and sponsorship are attached for your perusal.

This event can be a good social occasion for an international delegation or network associates. In that case we can work out an arrangement depending on the number of guests you would like to host. The donor invites are available for contributions or Rs. 2500 and Rs. 1500 respectively.
In case you would like to be in touch, I will be available on +91 98701 89868.

We are confident of you joining hands with us in our endeavor to empower the rural underprivileged communities.

Warm regards,
 
Pranoti Surve

Computers for Rural Children - Maharashtra


Posted by: "sudhir.ssmandal@gmail.com" sudhir.ssmandal@gmail.com

Wed Nov 25, 2009

Respected Sir / Madam,

Sanskriti Samvardhan Mandal (SSM) is a village based
voluntary organization established in 1959 with a view to educate and
empower the deprived rural people. We run one of the largest rural
residential schools in India imparting education to 4000 rural children.
SSM provides a homely shelter for 500 orphans taking care of their
education and rehabilitation. Please find us at www.ssmandal.net

Efforts are being made to develop potential qualities of the students
through various activities. Presently, the rural children are lagging
behind due to the digital divide. Though talented, but being in rural
area, these poor and under privileged are deprived of today's basic
educational facility. We are not short of professionals, nor of bright
students. But due to high cost of systems, we are stranded from giving
this rightful education to the students. Recently we have received Best
Village Knowledge Centre award by the hands of Ms.Rufina Fernandis, CEO,
NASSCOM Foundation, New Delhi.

We have a computer lab with 10 PCs with internet access which is not
proportionate to the total no. of students. To update the lab with
enough no. of computers is the earnest necessity to expand the outreach.
I earnestly request you to donate us 10 used or new computer systems
which will be a constructive effort in the direction of our goal.
Donations made to SSM are 100% exempted under 35 AC of Income Tax Act.
It will be our proud and pleasure to acknowledge name of your well-known
organization the computer lab of our school. I hopefully look forward
for your positive response in this context.

Engineering Course Fees - Kerala


From: vinoj B S
Sent: Wednesday, November 18, 2009
Subject: Sponsoring Education for my niece

Dear Sir / Madam,

This for my niece who is excellent in education. She got 82% marks in Std XII (Science Stream) and got an admission in Engineering (Computer) thru Govt merit list. Due to fees hike from Kerala govt this year around Rs. 25000 from Rs 4500 per semester, my brother had no decison to withdraw her from that. Presently she joined BSc Physics in a collage in kollam, kerala.

Financially, my brother is very weak. He has two daughters, which this is the elder one. He is working in Tamil Nadu in a cashew processing factory.

Can your organisation help her to fulfill her dreams if she tries for engineering this year thru merit list.
She is most interested in engineering than medicine.

Kindly help us or guide a way.

Thanking You

Funding Disaster Management Training Courses - Bombay

From: CARE
Sent: Thursday, November 19, 2009
Subject: care

Subject: - asking for your help in our disaster management training course


Dear Mr. /Ms
Committed Action for Relief and Education (CARE) is an Indian NGO registered under the Societies Registration Act and Public Trust Act, formed by a group of committed people from the development field in the year 1998. The basic thrust in forming this organization was to explore the possibilities of aligning together people, ideas and knowledge from the diverse field of Social development for helping the people in need, especially the underprivileged and marginalized segment of the society.

We wanted as “CARE” to help our volunteers to develop their skills and to feel more confident to help, first of all themselves and after that their families and the community, when a disaster happens.

In order to achieve that goal, we thought that a disaster management course it would be very helpful for them. So, we decided to organize as “CARE” one course, with theoretical and practical part as well. The subjects we would like to approach are:
first aid - rescue techniques - how to prevent a fire - ways to set down a fire - family training before the earthquake happens - reactions during an earthquake and crowd management .

If you want to support our effort, you can help by:
• Money donation
• Providing a big classroom for the training
• Or to be our trainer in one of those subjects!

Your help in this effort of ours will be more than useful…!

. For more details please contact us on tel 21630526 / 9969471240 / 9920486615 or e-mail caremumbai@rediffmail.com

Thanking you in anticipation

Yours truly,
