Thanks. I will see if I can get any organization to help you guys with this school. BTW, is there no government funds that you can get? Just curious. Will keep you updated. Anjali
Dear Anjali Thanks for your efforts. She is not getting any fund at present but she has applied for some fund.. hema
Hema, When it comes to charity, people need to know where their money is going and what its been used for. So, to convince them to give money, you need to have a proper break down of your needs ( how much you need and for what) Then it becomes a bit easy to convince people. We recently had organized a charity fair to raise money for a non-profit organization. Our group of abt 10 moms ( and their kids) organized a small fair, had food stalls, games, etc and invited around 100 people and raised decent amount for charity. You can try this too. Organize a fair to raise money. Ask friends and family to volunteer for food stalls ( cooking and selling). I am still trying to get more info abt how to get a organization help you in India. But you know how these things take time. Please bear with me and I will keep updating you as I get some info. Thanks. Anjali
