NGO Manav Sadhna's Greeting Card Catalogue

Some of the prettiest cards that I've seen and received were made at Manav Sadhna.

To read a bit about this NGO: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/karmayog/message/50647

- Chandni

From: Sachi Maniar <sachimaniar@gmail.com>

Dear friends! 
Asalaam - Namaste ! 

For the past one month, I am working with Manavsadhna - an organization based in Ahmedabad in the Gandhi Ashram. The Organization does some really hardcore, grass root work with women and children in the slums of Ahmedabad and in the villages of Kutch. To mention the least, I have been deeply touched and moved by their efforts to make a difference in the society.I am writing to get some support for the Earn and Learn Project run by the organization.

Earn N learn project has been running for almost 10 years with the mission to give children who work on streets—shoe polishers, rag pickers and vendors—an alternative to income generation coupled with the opportunity to attend school. The children learn how to make greeting cards, paper bags and more - out of handmade paper. Through the combination of a nurturing environment, mentorship, nutrition and tution programs, many of the children who have come through this program have dramatically decreased habits such as chewing tobacco, swearing, fighting and worse. They have learned the value of hygiene, sanitation, working together, self-respect, hard work, creativity and much more. Earn N Learn gives these children an honest chance at a brighter future.  (To learn more check out our new website at www.earnlearn.org). I am attaching the Build-Your-Own-Card 2009 catalogue and another catalogue with more card designs. 

 
The challenge for the organization has been in maintaining a constant stream of orders to ensure sustainable work for the children. Hence, I request you to extend support in whichever way possible. We are accepting both individual and bulk orders in Mumbai. So, apart from personal purchases, if you know of companies that send out gifts for new years and would like to support the project please pass it on !! 

For individual orders, Cards come in packets of 5, each packet costs Rs 75. 

For bulk orders, we can custom make the cards and pack it the way you want it.. 

It would be nice to have all the Christmas card orders by November 25th. Cards would be delivered to you by Dec 10th.

As of this year, each card is signed by the child who made it so customers can go online and learn more about each child. 

Any support is deeply appreciated ...   For further information you can contact me on +91 9920877443. 

Thank you :) 
Smiles :) 
In service

Request Help for AP Heavy Floods.

Affus Woman Welfare Association (AWWA)  is a Non-Profit Organization in

Nalgonda District Working in Andhrapradesh and karnataka , Providing Charitable Services in the  Districts of Kurnool and Mahaboobnagar and Gadag and Raichur and Bagal Kot  in karnataka people are affected by floods..

Unprecedented floods in the Krishna river basin in Andhra Pradesh state in india on Friday heaped misery on lakhs of people in Kurnool and Mahabubnagar districts. Kurnool, a city with a population of nearly five lakh, bore the brunt of the flood fury as water reached the first storey of several buildings. There were heart-rending scenes of people frantically seeking assistance to rescue them, but the government did not have sufficient number of boats or men to help them. It is estimated that about 40,000 people had taken shelter on the rooftops. Much of the misery was caused by Tungabhadra and Handri rivers, tributaries of the Krishna, which rose menacingly throughout the day bringing Kurnool and Mantralayam, the seat of Raghavendra Swamy Mutt, under a sheet of water. Several places in Mantralayam were under ten feet of water and the temple pontiff Swami Sushmendra was among the 15,000 odd people stranded in the town. The floods inundated about 100 villages in Kurnool and Mahabubnagar districts. Many of them lay completely submerged while traffic on the Hyderabad-Bangalore National Highway 7 came to a grinding halt as the road breached near Beechupally, between Jadcherla and Kurnool. In Mahabubnagar district, about 50 villages.

At the moment, We are extending our services to Floods in Kurnool

and Mahaboob Nagar relief work focusing on medical aid, control of

empidemics through medichlore and public education,  blankets, pen, pencils and notebooks Food Aid, e.t.c.

please help us in this regard to help flood related areas in Andhra pradesh and Karnataka

Donating to AID India -

From Mallika

Hi everyone,

You may have heard about the tremendous damage being caused by floods in Andhra Pradhesh and Karnataka(southern part of India). When I read about this online, I had two choices: read it and go back to my usual day OR start to raise some funds! I chose to do the latter and I need your help.

Go to
http://www.aidindia.org

and donate any amount large or small. On the Donate page, make sure to choose "Common Pool" and "All India Relief Fund" in the dropdown boxes. All donations are 100% tax deductible.

Lets remember that people in these areas make less in a day than we spend on a coffee.

Please forward as appropriate.

Thanks in advance,
Mallika

PS:

Dear Donors,
I am the State Secretary,Chand Minority Welfare Association, Kurnool, Andhra
Pradesh, A Social Service Society Regd No:691/2000 in Andhra Pradesh and I
need the help in collboration with regarding the Flood Panic on 02-10-2009
in our state in Kurnool and Mahaboobnagar districts. I am giving the detail
report and you can see it.

Kurnool town on Friday night was in the imminent danger of being completely
submerged with flood water at some places getting more than 10 feet deep. By
Saturday afternoon, the town is likely to be sumberged under as much as
15-20 feet of water, putting into peril the lives of over two lakh people.
Many were feared dead. The state government threw up its hands in despair
and said the relief work could start only from Saturday.

Along with Kurnool town, the pilgrim centre of Mantralayam bore the brunt of
the flood fury on Friday with the overflowing Tungabhadra and Handri rivers
inundating the two towns.

Faced with the unprecedented flooding, the state government on Friday could
only hope for better weather conditions. "Inclement weather is hampering
both dropping of food packets as well as rescuing the marooned people. This
is perhaps the worst floods in the history of the state.

Although the inflows from Karnataka abated by Friday evening, Srisailam will
still receive about 12 lakh cusecs of water by Saturday, thus increasing
storage level to 893 feet while Full Storage Level is only 885 feet. As a
result, the government on Friday night had no option but to open all the 12
crest gates at Srisailam.

Thus by Saturday afternoon, the inflow of Krishna water downstream from
Srisailam reservoir to Nagarjunsagar dam and further down to Prakasam
barrage is expected to flood Vijayawada town and parts of Krishna and Guntur
districts. By Saturday night, Prakasam barrage would have received 8-9 lakh
cusecs of water, something unprecedented in recent history. The usual
capacity of water received at the barrage is not more than 4-5 lakh cusecs.

Panic has gripped Vijayawada residents in the wake of the devastation. The
state government on Friday night directed the Krishna district
administration to evacuate people, if necessary by force, from the low-lying
areas of Vijayawada town.

In this connection i request Donors to help flood Vitim through medicines,
cloths, benshets, Food items,etc & any Donation send on Chand Minority
Welfare Association, Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh on A/C No.354602010008315 of
Union Bank of India, Kurnool (A.P) come forward for distribution. for any
query call on 91-9441612957, 91-9505193171
