Dear Friends,
First of all, let me aplogize for not communicating timely I+We updates to you all. Life has been busy this past year with a change in jobs, relocation and a baby on the way. But, i am very happy to inform you all that we have successfully completed our second year of first project, sponsoring education to 20 kids through I+WE.
The highlight of this year is: three of our students passed 10'th grade (SSC Examinations). As most of you know, this degree would be the basis for any higher education or for any professional job training in India.
These three kids were able to do this feet only because of the help and support from you all. Uma and Giri have stopped attending school 2 years back, where as for Swapna, it was a gap of 4 years due to the financial inability to pay the school fees. It's only because of I+WE, they were able to come back to school and finish the most important education in their lives. It's a proud moment for not only them, but for all of us. We promised them that we will continue support for their books and other miscellaneous expenses if they continue their Intermediate education (11th and 12th grade) in public colleges.
All other students have also completed their current grades and transferred to higher grade.s I will post their grades and progress report as soon I receive them from school.
Also, all phases of the school fee is paid regularly and the receipts are posted in Google docs. We are still waiting for final phase receipts from school and will post them in respective student-donor folders as soon as we receive them.
I would like to thank each and everyone of you for your continuous support and hope that we can collaborate successfully for many more years to come. I would also like to thank the school coordinators and I+WE program co-ordinator Sita Raju for their honest work and support to these kids and our organization.
Thank you all and have a wonderful time.
- Vani on behalf of I+WE team.
