[Assam] Oxomot Pratham

[Alpana B. Sarangapani]

Hi Netters:
 
Do you know that Pratham http://www.pratham.org/, the child-literacy program is going to help the children in Assam that do not get a chance to go to school, or better yet, do not know how to read or write at all? You all know what is the condition there in India/Assam when it comes to child labor.
 
I read somewhere instead of giving gifts for birthday, wedding, anniversary etc., etc. one can give to humanitarian causes like this - many of our youths have requested to send the gift money for their wedding etc. to a charitable cause - now I see the connection. Hats off to those kids that thought - for thinking of those less fortunate ones instead of the traditional way of doing 'telir murot tel dhala' work. 
 
Just thought I would let you know what I have been upto recently. 
 
Also, have you heard (or are ready to contribute to) of the one laptop per child program? http://laptop.org/vision/index.shtml. Won't it be wonderful if that happens to all kids in the world, especially the kids that work in the paddy field in Assam, who eventually "graduate" to work at the road-side tea-stalls?
 
Well, this is all for tonight. More later.
 
Sincerely,
- Alpana B. Sarangapani
Spring, Texas.
