SavingKids Program Website Update

Dear Friends,

As per members suggestion We have added two more sections to the program site.

Support Us – As you know there are people who are not in a position to give offerings to this program because of many reasons. Some of the reasons are, they are already part of other charity program, or doing their studies etc. But they would like to become a member of this program by supporting us. So this section is added to welcome those kind of supporters to SavingKids Program

Need Help – As this community is growing day by day, We may get opportunity to help others if they were in a bad position to get help. Any one who needs financial help they can contact us and we will be communicating this among our program members and they may get some help.

Please logon to the program site to see the details.

Regards

Daison

SavingKids Program Target – 2005

Just want to give you an idea about some of the expense which we are having as part of this program and how best we can achieve the same during this year 2005.

Yes, if we look at the above chart, Rs 500 is the minimum expense which will come to sponsor a kid during a month. And other than that we have so many other expenses.  For a year, it will come to around 1,26000 Rs. Out of which we have collected or going to collect 62922 Rs.

We have to add Rs 51200 to the program to make it to the target and if we get all your help and support it will be really simple. We have to get only 32 new members towards this program during next 2 months.

I know we can do it.  Now we are more than 30 contributors/ supporters for this program. Each one of us can add one single new member, we are there. Is that tough for you to get one new member? Just ask yourself the same question.

I will be sending mails during this month about this campaign and sure that we can get 32 new members. If you are not interested in this small effort and just want to be a good contributor, pl let us know. We will exclude you from these mailing details.

Here are some of the ways in which you can silently communicate about SavingKids program among your friends, Colleagues etc.

1.        Add a signature about our program website in your office/personal email.

2.       Send a group mail to your small company group, friends circle. Most of you will be having small email groups within your vertical/business units etc. Get permission from group email owner and send a mail to the group.

3.       Add a site link to any of the good websites which you know. If you are having any personal websites, you can add it there too. Let me know if you need any banner about our program.
