Sambhali Trust in December 2010

Dear Readers,
I hope you had good holidays, Christmas and wishing you the best for new year.
The month of December have been wonderful.



Sambhali Trust:
We are in process to make the Sheerni self help group project participate in administrative activities. Setrawa village was hosting the "Administration in village" program from the government. Our ladies participated and also demonstrated against the behavior of the UCO bank manager Mr. Meena. He is soo bad to our ladies and doesnt understand the concept of self help group program. He would not give a single cent to the Sheerni self help group as credit not even to buy a single goat. In January we decided to make self help groups in Jodhpur under Sheerni self help group.
