Dear friends, "Ambedkar Scholarships" is honored to recognize a rare and Iron girl Ms Sheetal of Maharashtra. She was a world 5th and India's 1st champion in Karate. Though some expressed the sagacity of help her, I feel, it is very much needed. We need to encourage all round development of Dalits. We need leaders in every field. It is a necessity to help such children who make a mark on society despite all odds against them social, financial, familial etc. When I spoke to her, I was certain that it is a good decision to help her. In the past, we recognized another young brother of ours from Punjab for his activism in Dalit issues as a student, thanks to Jai Birdi of Canada. We continue to do so in future, if some one refer us of such rare achievers among us. Not only education, we should encourage our children in all fields athletics, fine art, music, writing, acting . and what not? We mailed a cheque for Rs.5,000 on Dec 10, 2006. Her details along with the scanned copy of the cheque is available at our website www.ambedkarscholarship.org for everyone to see. I thanks Br Hadke to refer us this Iron girl and giving us a opportunity to help her. "Ambedkar Scholarships" wish her all the best in her future. With regards Benjamin
