Dear all,

Fundraising for the ongoing project has been going on through this month. We are still short of 26K, of the total 33K.

Donations so far include:

1. Dr Pavithra Kalyan & Mr Kalyan - Rs.1000/-

2. Dr Radha Annamalai & Mr Mahesh - Rs.3000/-

3. Renita -Rs1,500/-

4. Karthik -Rs1,500/-

TOTAL -Rs 7,000/-

As of now, Feroz is still working on the remainder required amount, and if faced with further delay, we hope to get money on loan and start the project at the earliest, the loan will be paid off once more donations start coming in.

Please do contribute in whatever way possible, either in terms of your time, commitment and/ or money, and together lets get this project up and running as soon as we can.

Meanwhile....

Praveen Selvam, Allen, Rajesh and Sriram are working on the website(HUGS India - main page) as well as the ancillary website database of 'found' children. As a start, the HUGS logo is being reworked, and we will have a final version soon.
