12/23/2008 - Winter Update |
Season's greetings from OPEN. We wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, and hope that in this time, the community remembers needy children struggling to go to school. We are planning to have our next fundraiser concert by Rasika on April 25, 2009 at Oakton High School in VA. We will send out a more detailed email about the concert once the date and venue are finalized. This is a short update, and will be followed shortly by an Educate A Child update. Our scholarships program with IGNITE for Polytechnic education, and the scholarship programs at the various schools, are going well. Pictures from the Kaingkarya nursing aide education program are attached.
Our ability to fund these projects depends on your generosity. We request that (tax deductible) contributions payable to "OPEN Inc." be sent to one of the addresses below. If you made a pledge during the concert and if you haven't sent your check yet please do so as soon as possible.
If you would like your contribution to go towards the "Educate a Child" program, please mention it on your check memo section. Contributions may also be made online at: http://www.mydonations.com/openindia Please consider investing in India's future. To delay may mean to forget. Sincerely, |
