seeking your support & help

Over the last twenty years of my stint in community service & social work I have realized & seen that the number of underprivileged who cannot even afford the basic needs of life is on the rise; hence we come across problems such as alcoholism, wife beating, drugs ,road side beggars ,young miscreants & so on . In my opinion, encouraging these underprivileged kids & adult learners towards education could be a solution to some of the above evils .Having said that unless their basic needs are met, education takes a backseat... The good news is that in the year 2009 & till September 2010, we managed to to the lives of around 2900 children all over Maharashtra thus helping them in their educational pursuits! I am writing this email to you to seek your support in the successful implementation of a couple of new projects that we have taken up which we expect to complete by the end of DEC. 2010 latest.. Let us tread together on this route of emancipation of the underprivileged!
