Season's Greetings from Ashraya Initiative for Children!

We hope that this season brings you warmth and much joy.  At AIC, we are busy with school and preparing to move into a new Education Outreach Center!  This has certainly been a busy year for us and we have seen an expansion in all of our programs.  Thanks to our supporters, we have remained readily able to address the increasing needs of impoverished families in Pune.  However, we are still in need of more support to ensure our programs are sustainable and effective, as there is still much more to be done.

As you may know, our annual Holiday Campaign is currently underway and this year we added the option of sending holiday e-cards.  If you are able this season, please consider making a donation in someone's name and sending them a holiday card.  Alternatively, year-end donations are also welcome and we will make sure that you are promptly sent a receipt.  For supporters from the U.S., we will make sure you receive a tax-receipt, as we are a registered tax-exempt organization in the U.S.

In addition to our Holiday Campaign, we are excited to announce the launch of our Sponsorship Program!  This comprehensive sponsorship program offers supporters the option of sponsoring Residential and Outreach children in various capacities, and also provides the option to sponsor special projects, such as a teacher's salary.  Please read more about our Sponsorship Program here and spread the word!  Alternatively, you can download detailed information on the Sponsorship Program in PDF format by clicking here.

We are deeply grateful for all of the support we have received this year and look forward to another busy and productive year ahead.  There is still much to be done and we rely on supporters like you to continue our work caring for vulnerable children and their families in Pune.

Happy Holidays!
The AIC Family
