    SYNTHIKA TRUST

    from Trichy, Tamil Nadu

Tax benefits for INR donations will be issued by SYNTHIKA TRUST

Greetings from T. Selvaraj, Managing Trustee of Synthika Trust.
Synthika Trust is a charitable trust in Lalgudi, Trichy that gives special education
and rehabilitation service for all types of differently abled
(visually impaired, hearing impaired, mentally retarded, orthopedic handicapped) children since 2006.
Our home which houses about 30 children, is currently running with the help of donations from local
people and well wishers. But, we are in a CRISIS situation to SAVE OUR HOME from CLOSING DOWN
as we are not able to meet the infrastructural requirements set by the Government of Tamil Nadu.
We are looking for timely help in the form of donations from well wishers.
Kindly continue to read below for more information.

As per government rules, each child should have 40 sq.ft of living space which amounts to about
1200 sq.ft. But, at present we only have about 600 sq.ft which is half the required size.
Government officials from the District Child Protection Department had instructed us to expand our home according to the
regulations around June 2016 and had given us about 6 months time to do so. We immediately
initiated construction of an additional floor in the same building to meet the above requirements.
Due to lack of funds, we are still unable to complete the construction work
which brings us frequent warnings from the authorities.
We have now been issued a final warning to finish the work within TWO MONTHS,
else suffer the dire consequence of closing down Synthika Trust.
We have somehow managed to resume work again with the help of donations from
a few well wishers, but still suffer a deficit of about INR 1,25,000/- to complete the work.

The following are some close estimates for the amount required for all pending works:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pending Work                                                Amount (INR)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sand                                                                          20000
Grill Work-Window & Door                                    25000
Tiles                                                                           15000
Plumbing & Electrical work                                    15000
Chips                                                                            5000
Mason Labour                                                          40000
White wash                                                                 5000
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total                                                                         125000
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

We have been very fortunate to have had frequent interactions with students from NIT Trichy for almost
6 years now. Various clubs from NIT Trichy like the Festember Social Responsibility and Aarushi
have visited our home on many occasions and have spent quality time with our children along with providing
some monetary help for our home. This brings us to NIT Trichy which has always been special for our home
children in our need of the hour. Whatever little yet timely help that you could extend can together
create a huge and ever lasting impact in our children's lives.

WE MAKE A LIVING WITH WHAT WE GET, BUT WE MAKE A LIFE WITH WHAT WE GIVE...

Thanking You,
Yours sincerely,

(T. SELVARAJ)
