I say YES on this case. Dont' see why we cannot sponsor education for these kids. We can always talk to school authorities and directly pay their fees so tht the father cannot misuse these funds. I can sponsor the buspass too Ratan. We can take turns on months if u like.
Wonder how many actually live like this, parallelly in this world, right beside us. Such a sad state! *Kicks* & *Laafas* & *Jhapads* to the father of the kids who asked the kids to be pulled out of school becos he is not interested X(X(X( !! Glad that Suneel came up to help too, along with Uday. Why dont' we manage this case just with US team individual contributions ( something we specifically wish to do on this case, and not a part of our monthly contributions)??? I will let the rest of the US Team respond aswell. India Team, have a good day :) I am officially back in the group from my short abscence, from today onwards. Might take a while to read all the mails in the due period, but will do my best to answer all the imp ones that are still in discussion.
