Bachelor´s degree for Laxman

Second youngest in a family of five orphans, Laxman hopes to educate himself to support his siblings. Since his parents died a few years ago, Laxman and his brothers and sisters have been living at their uncle´s house where they have to pay their own cost of living.

Laxman has successfully completed the first year of his Bachelor of Administration degree and is ready to begin his second year. He needs our help to pay the Rs.7,000 for tuition, fees and books for the whole year.

Many people from the lowest economic sector in India do not understand the importance of higher education. Laxman does, and is ready to work hard to complete his B.A. to support his family. This makes him a more than worthy candidate in our sight, and I hope we can help him.

Thank You!

Our friend and supporter Sara Berggren has volunteered to cover the entire cost of Kapil and Bhanu-Pratap's sponsorship. Thank you, Sara!

Children of Cancer Patient Need Scholarship

These two little boys are Kapil and Bhanu-Pratap. Till now they've been attending a local Vrindavan school (not SMS), in the second and first grades, respectively. However, they might have to drop out if we don't help them.

Their father is a construction worker who, unfortunately, suffers from cancer of the mouth. His health condition makes every workday a struggle for him, and some days he has to stay home and rest. With seven children to support it's impossible for him to fulfill his family's needs. His wife also does hard labor as a construction assitant, but her salary is quite low.

His only hope is to educate his children, so they can help support the family when they are older. But right now, Kapil's family is barely able to come up with money for food and rent for their single room every month.

Just Rs.10,000 (216 USD) will keep Kapil and Bhanu-Pratap in school by providing them with tuition, fees, books and uniforms for the coming school session.

Thank you!

Very special thanks to a very special "Anonymous" for giving Rs.5000 for Nandalal's treatment!

Nandalal

Dear Friends,

It is time to introduce you to the next person who needs your help to live a better life.



Nandlal is a 39 year old husband and father of five young children. He works as a rikshaw puller while his wife is a homemaker. Nandlal has been suffering from a painful hernia for two years. Despite the pain, Nandlal pulls his rikshaw every day to try to make money to support the needs of his family. His earnings are meagre, and he's been unable to save any money, let alone the 5000 rupees (108 USD) needed to treat his health concerns.

If we can arrange for treatment of his hernia, Nandlal will be able to work longer and earn more money to give his children a better chance at life.
