Meet the children supported by the Heroes with a Heart Grant Award

 

May 10, 2012

Dear Friends,

We are very happy to share with you that the CTK foundation has now officially announced the results of the recent online voting contest of the “Heroes with a Heart” award program. After auditing the results, they have confirmed that Sahaya International received the most votes, and is the winner in the Health and Human Services category. Click here for the official press release.  We are grateful to the CTK Foundation for this honor and recognition, and would also like to express to all nominated volunteers and organizations that participated in the contest, our admiration for their dedication to make this world a better place.

We  are glad to have this opportunity for a special THANK YOU to all who voted and/or encouraged friends and relatives to vote. This award is the result of your continued support. YOU DID IT! Each of you is a Hero with a Heart, and  we are very  proud to have you as part of our Sahaya family.

As promised, we are using the $5,000 grant award to enroll an additional 14 needy children and youth in our existing orphan support program in India (which currently has already 219 children and youth). These 14 children will now receive support to meet their basic needs of schooling, food and clothing for one year.

During the upcoming year, we will do our very best to find individual sponsor-parents for these 14 children (for $30 per month), so we can continue to help them beyond the period of this  grant award, and use the funds that are then freed up to help other needy children. 

Many thanks again to all of you,

Koen Van Rompay
Founder/Secretary Sahaya International
