New Year, New Resolutions- An appeal to my friends

Hi friends,
I wish u & ur family a happy new year 2009. May this new year brings happiness, health & wealth.

Lot of people will have lot of resolutions on this new year, but helping the humanity may top the chart. I thought new year would be the right time to spread this message. I know many of you must be returning some the wealth, that God gave to us, back to the society. I'm giving here some organizations info so that atleast some of this audience would respond to the needy.

Help the needy, God will help you back.

1. Provide scholarships to the needy through BREAD www.breadsocietyindia.org/ or NSF (US) http://www.northsouth.org I've been donating some amount to these orgs for the last few years. The entire amount we donate will be passed on to the needy and the organization is being run thru the interest

2. I visited a poor students' ashram Chavadi Child Welfare Society, Telecom Nagar, Gachibowli (www.tccws.org) recently and distributed fruits, biscuits and chocolates. I spoke to the director of this org for any donation, but he told me that they have sufficient funds for the current strength and suggested me to sponsor any bright student after 10th. I need to go to this school again to interact with the kids. Similar organization is Samyuktha Foundation samyukthafoundation.org . They run schools for the children of construction workers. I need to visit one of these schools.

3. www.shareaservice.org/ A meeting place for donors and the organizations.

4. Ramakrishna Math at Indira Park: I've been visiting Math and used to donate money for annadaanam on special occasions. You can donate that suits your pocket and program. The best thing with this Math is that they provide food only for kids, ladies, elderly people and physically handicapped. They spend Rs 3000 a day. They also provide free education thru Vivekananda Institute of Human Excellence; you can also donate for it.

5. You can also donate to any needy people based on news from papers. I responded in 1 or 2 cases.

6. Donate blood. You can register here www.friendstosupport.org/. I registered here and donated blood recently in the office

Dedicating this message to Swapnika, the acid attack victim, who lost her life on 31st December 2008 after fighting for 22 days on bed. May her soul rest in peace.

Have a beautiful & wishfilled year ahead.
