Hello All,

I actually was waiting for this mail.

It has been a long time we have received any mail

about the updates in our NGO.

Thank you for the detailed update about the Phases.

Our whole team appreciates the members involved in making

such contribution finding the needs, necessary items

in various foundations and mailing the updates in their busy schedule.

And one more thing, I know that our organization's vision

is to educate children, but can we do anything about

the beggars on street, disabled people on roads.

Its just a thought. We can discuss about it in this thread,

whether we can do anything, the Pros and Cons about such kind of work.

With Regards,
Pruthvi Gorantala
