Please Help Poor Children Continue Studies:

As 2011 school year looms in India, many families are in crises mode, trying to scavenge any and all available resources to come up with fees. CAI has a list of 500 extremely poor students who need immediate help in continuing their studies.The only way out for these poor children, most that live in slums amid squalor and decay, is via a decent education. Most (over 70%) of these are sadaats, several who have single mothers teetering at abject poverty levels. Please consider sponsoring a child's fee for $77 for full year tuition fee. A photo with basic statics of child can be provided, if required.
