@ mail from Sr. Grace - richiesta d'aiuto dall'India

Dear mr. Adriao, Patrizia ad family.
Thak you very much for your care and concern for the poor children of India. You have commended very frankly on our video and thank you for your correction given.
On our video, dancing with the waste paper basket in the middle was only a practice, to make the circle wider. I never thought about it very seriously. Here after I will be more careful. Please eraze whatever is not good on it, before you show it to anybody.
How are you all. Nice to see Stefano in his suit as a teacher. What is Chiara busy with now? Do you have holidays for the school now? We started our schools in June. It was with much Joy and appreciation of the public for the 100% result in the sslc examination - March. We got many awards from different Groups. On Monday we are felicitating and giving cash awards for our seven students who scored above 90% marks and became the top scorers. 14 students won A grade Certificates in Red Cross organisation and 20 State award. EIGHT of our Girl Guides won National Award from Indian President for their Excellence in Social Service activities. Last week the Panchayath President inaugurated a Herbal plantation project for our students. In order to improve the standard of English for our Malayalam medium students we extended mike connection to each class room; whenever they have free time they can listen to english cassets etc... So far we were borrowing a tape recorder. Now we bought one. We have no T.V. set in the school. Slowly we will try to provide better facilities for our village children. Last year we had arranged Special Tution programme and other expert help for the intellectually and financially backward students. This year again we must start it. Now we are busy with organising and orienting the new batch of parents and students. I am sharing it all with my dearly beloved Adriano and Patrizia, because you alone are the secret of all our success, your benovelent sacrifices brought Gods providence to me. God blessyou and Reward YOU in abundance. Are you not happy to hear that we are growing with your sacrifices? !!!!
As you had asked I am sending my Account no. and a Swift Code given by the bank to speed up the tranactions. I thank you in advance for your great generosity and concern. Since I am the only Sister teacher in our school I am always busy to attend to many services. So My time for myself is very limited. Please excuse me. I don't demand from you. But in your goodness if you find any thing to help us we are always grateful however small the amount may be.

Once again praying for gods blessings on you all, Sr GRACE FROM INDIA.
