Sub: An appeal letter for funding Goa YMCA, Panjim
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Dear Sir,
Greetings to you from the Goa YMCA Panjim.
We would like you to be part of our YMCA project at Panjim, Goa.
On a prime plot costing over 30 lakhs in Indian Rupees, YMCA, Panjim, Goa is
putting up a medium sized complex to offer affordable accommodation to the
YMCA Community. The complex is estimated to cost around Rupees 60 lakhs
approx. As of now, construction has been raised to the tune of Rupees 20 lakhs
from funds generated by way of several fund raising activities and also from
the loans received from the Bombay and Pune YMCAs.
However, presently we have fallen short of finances and we are hoping that
well-wishers around the globe as well as in our own country, will rise to the
occasion and contribute in whatever way they deem it fit for the completion of
the project. Indeed, it will be a proud moment for the entire YMCA community.
We invite you to donate a room at a cost of Rs 1,50,000 (US$ 3,490) which
could be named after your near/dear one of your institution. For the donation
of a room, we would offer the room free of charge for one week each year for
the use of the donor and/or his family and friends throughout his/her
lifetime. The donor will be entitled for AC rooms. Please note the entitlement
should be availed of in each respective year. The offer will not be allowed to
be carried forward to subsequent years.
We also invite a donation for a skating rink costing Rs 3,00,000 (US$ 6,820)
which may be named after your near or dear one or the institution. We would
offer the donor the use of a room for two weeks each year as in the case of a
room donor.
The complex has a small hall, for multipurpose use, and it has been proposed
to name the said hall after any person or institution contributing Rs 7,50,000
(US$ 17,050). We will offer a room free of charge for three weeks stay each
year to the donor and/or his/her family and friends throughout his/her
lifetime. Please note the entitlement should be availed of in each respective
year, it will not entitle the donor to carry forward the said entitlement to
subsequent years.
The Govt of India has accorded its sanction to enable us to received Foreign
Contribution. We are therefore making this earnest appeal to all the well-
wishers to send in their contribution by way of demand drafts or bank
transfer. To facilitate bank transfers from anywhere we have opened an account
bearing No SB 0088-771748-001 (The Young Mens Christian Association) with
INDUSIND BANK (Panaji Branch). Indusind Bank has arrangements in
London/California/New York/Rome. For further details of the project click to
www.ymcagoa.com the website will keep the donor abreast of the progress of
construction.
All of us are aware that tourism has its negative effects too. YMCA Goa will
continue and concentrate on the AIDS Awareness and Control Programs, Anti
Narcotics Drives and Preservation of Ecology programmes. Income derived from
the project at hand, will be primarily channeled towards these programmes.
The project will be commissioned in the 3rd week of December 2005. Donations
are also covered under 80 G of the Income Tax Act.
