The Mumbai branch are trying to overcome the hurdle by sponsoring an existing group of poor children.
In choosing this project, they will literally be helping the poorest of the poor. An additional advantage is that the Bombay Xavieran Corporation (run by the Jesuits) have responsibility for the Raigad Mission and have received FERA clearance. This should facilitate the remittance of funds from HAPC (UK) or any other overseas donor branch.
The needs of the children are few and Rs.3000/- would provide the basic necessities of a child for a whole year. The project is already operational and currently a flat has been rented to house 15 boarders. It is a congested existence because the children have only one room which serves as a classroom, a dining room and a dormitory.
We look forward to better prospects for the ‘fortunate few’ that we are able to help.
