We Thanks a lot to Madam Jacqueline De Chollet of Global Foundation for Humanity for her Kind Visit to Jodhpur Project.
Khamaghani,
A lot going on at this end:- For the permission of FCRA (Foreign Contribution Regulation Act) we are going through a lot fo beaurocratic problems, they aren't helping much. We have also applied for certificate for 80GI (local donors tax exemption ) - under process. They need to see our annual report and audit report, both under making.
Both the projects are running well but due to financial crisis there are problems occuring now. People are coming to support the girls to go to school, which is good because those participants from last year will be able to keep going to school this year also. The teachers, the transport for the participants, the rent for space at Setrawa, the raw materials etc are getting burden. I won't stop, I have a bank account for the NGO, but I can't do foreign fund transfers until I have the certificate of FCRA. Local donors won't support because we can't give them rebit on tax through our tax exemption receipt.
Now the Durag Niwas Guest House is slowing down, less tourists because of heat, so I can't put much from here into the NGO. A Sambhali friend, Rita Mühlebach, has helped us by forwarding her birthday gift to Sambhali Trust. We are very thankful to Ms. Mühlebach for her generous gift. The "Sambhali Dreams" was a bad idea to get printed when we were limited to resources, but in excitement of making a book we forgot the limits of our sources.
Suneeta's and Asha's birthday today 27-3-08, we celebrated with some lunch, learning to sing and cake cutting ceremony.
Cutting the cake - Suneeta and Asha.
