Friends for Education International (FFEI) invites to its 7th Ambedkar
Scholarships distribution ceremony on May 29, 2010 in Guntur, Andhra Pradesh.
Date : May 29, 2010 at 2:00pm
Venue: Ambedkar Bhavan, Opp. Andhra Christian College, Guntur, AP
Chief Guest: Mr B Ramanjuneyulu, Collector, Guntur District
Honorary guests:
Dr Sudhakar, Dooradarsan
Dr Siddoji Rao, Hyderabad
Mr G P Neelakantam, Project Director, DRDA
Prof Challapalli Swarupa Rani, Head of Buddhist Studies, Nagarjuna University,
Guntur
Mr Maddu Ankaiah, Advocate
In this ceremony a total of 92 scholarships will be distributed to bright Dalit
students and to organizations working among Scavenging communities in Andhra
Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Orissa, Tamilnadu, and Karnataka.
Please grace the occasion if you are in the area, can spare a day away from
home town. It is crucial as these students lack support and encouragement
though they beat all odds to excel in education. Your presence will give them
moral support to continue their education with more efforts.
We are also looking for book sponsorships. We need the following books, 100
copies each:
1. Dr Ambedkar’s biography in Telugu, English, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Oriya
2. Prof Kancha Ilaiah’s epic book on dignity of labor: Turning the pot, tilling
the land. It is also available in several languages. You can sponsor some or
all of them.
3. Any English improvement or self improvement books
Any help will be greatly appreciated. If you can’t help us, please attend the
function that is free and give moral boost to these bright students.
With regards
Benjamin

An educated man without character and humility was more dangerous than a beast.
If his education was detrimental to the welfare of poor, he was a curse to
society.
