INDIA: MOVING FORWARD WITH EVERYTHING, BUT CHOOSING THE MOST USEFUL TYPES OF AID

Good morning!
How are things going in Thandarai, India?
Going well! Thanks to the always attentive and creative management of Wilson, our friend and contact in the village.

And we are beginning to make some choices to make ATF’s support even more effective.
Regarding the education:
• Around fifteen boys and girls attend the after-school program daily (a bit fewer during this period of heavy rains and colds—quite normal), and ATF supplies them all with notebooks and, for the older students, exam-preparation guides. Snacks and internet access are always available during after-school hours, covered by ATF. And whenever possible, there are sessions dedicated to drawing and martial arts.
• The young woman attending university regularly receives monthly support and plenty of encouragement from ATF; we are awaiting the results of her first exams.
As for assistance to people in need:
• In October and November, 16 kg of rice plus other provisions were donated. This type of aid has been reduced somewhat compared to the past, partly to limit it—on Wilson’s initiative—to only those food-need cases that cannot be resolved in another way; and partly to concentrate as many available resources as possible on development aid (education).
• Monthly support continues for the physiotherapy of a person with disabilities.
In short, what can we say? We’re happy to tell you that the roughly 120 euros per month provided by donors is being spent with the aim of making it “work” always better 🙂

HOW CAN YOU HELP US?
With a one-time or recurring donation, monthly or quarterly—you decide the amount!
