Dear Supporters,

Thank you for your support. Keeping you posted on the progress made. Received contributions from both friends in India and abroad.  

The contributions made in Indian Rupees (INR) were directly transferred, by Milaap, to SOS Children's Villages of India and will benefit a girl child in Begusarai, Bihar.

I am finding it difficult to directly transfer the contributions in US Dollars (USD), to SOS Children's Villages, as Milaap transfers such funds to only FCRA Accounts (of NGOs) and SOS will not accept USD contributions into their FCRA Account basis my Indian passport.  

I am in touch with Milaap to explore the possibility of perhaps routing the funds through my account and eventually to the NGO. Will keep you all posted on the progress.  

Regards. 

Dear Supporters,

Thank you for the support.
I will be routing this through SOS Children's Villages of India and the girl child selected for receiving this fund is from Begusarai in Bihar. Will keep you posted with the further updates.

Dear Supporters,
Thank you for helping us.
I have identified a girl named Manisha from Bihar who will be awarded this amount to enable her to study a course in Visual Effects (VFX).  VFX is widely used now in Indian movies (both Hindi and Regional) and the sector is posting a health ~18% CAGR growth thus creating sustainable job opportunities.

With the slump in jobs in IT, talented students are now looking at hopping on to the Rs.10,000 Crore Indian Animation & VFX Sector.

Manisha is studying in final year at Central Institute of Technology, a Central Government Funded Institution.
