Shikshan Gram’s thanks say Collins Hume is making a difference

With the dawn of 2012 seeing Collins Hume exceeding 100,000 giving activities, we are thrilled to receive some feedback about how our contribution helps one of our recipients.  For the latest summary of our giving impact, please visit our Giving Back page on our website.  For now, please enjoy reading the letter from Shikshan Gram Shelter for Homeless Children:

"Yesterday we received notification that funds had arrived via B1G1 and Sage Foundation for the children here at Shikshan Gram Shelter for Homeless Children.  Frankly we were overwhelmed at your generosity and are thrilled that B1G1 and Sage have been so helpful in assisting us and bringing the work that we are doing with these children to your attention.

We have 86 children here at the Shelter currently and soon that will be increased to 150 – as we are currently building a new Shelter to house more children.  Your donations help us significantly to maintain the children’s well being.. their daily milk is so important for them and as you can imagine, feeding them high quality nutritious food, even here in India where food is relatively cheap, is essential to their growth and their all important development .. medical treatment and keeping them healthy is also so important.  Once their brains a bright with good nutrition and their bodies are healthy with needed assistance, then they are able to really absorb that which they are taught.

So – milk, food, medical treatment and learning... all factors so essential to these little children’s well being.  Your help is very much appreciated.  And we thank you so much.

There are lots of photos of our children and the building project that we are doing for them on the internet at our Facebook page and our website... see the links below.   But here is one for you now."
