Hi
I am president Helping Hands Welfare Association Baltistan working for education and child protection. Being a non-profit organization our financial condition id very limited. Due to the financial constraints we are facing problems in putting more working students in to class from street or work shops. Currently we are education about 36 child labor effected students in our 6 branches of schools. Average expense per year to keep one student in school is 18000 PAK rupees as about USD $.220 per student. Currently according our servy/ data collected from market working place about 18 children are working who have to put in to classes at different levels.
So we have need of about 220 $ per students and total of 3960$ for forth coming education session of 2012.
Hoping to help us for above generous cause.
Thanks
Iftikhar
President
