More Information About this Project

Project Needs and Beneficiaries

HIV/AIDS is spreading quickly in India, with 5 million infected adults. As in other poor countries, this will result in millions of orphaned and destitute children. Well-meaning people began to take in neighborhood children, but the need quickly outruns their resources. With help, these small projects can grow into a network of local care providers who can rescue great numbers of children. Little Hearts Orphanage now cares for 42 children, but needs your help not only to maintain, but to expand.

Activities

HEARTS orphanage provides a home, nutrition, health care and education to homeless and starving children. Little Hearts will provide nutrition and health training and education to local HIV+ mothers and children.

Report from LH.

First of all I would like to say Namaste to the River Fund for their continuous support since 2005 and to Global Giving
and like minded donors from different parts of the world.

All the children at "little HEARTS orphanage" Nellore are doing very well.

Last month children celebrated Diwali festival by lighting Candles and by firing crackers. It was joy filled day for all the children.

On 11th 6 member group of Americans (Ms.Jessica Martin, Ms.Sue, Ms.Kim, Ms.Sheila, Ms.Kelly and Mr.John Leeson visited little hearts and spent 2 days with children and bought play things for children and the group donated Rs.7,690 to little hearts. Once again this group proved that Americans are generous and very friendly people. Thanks to Jessica and group.

Through Ms.Jessica, we have received one more donation of Rs.4,500/- from Ma Jaya. Ma Jaya is always very loving and caring of children. Once again thanks to Ma Jaya.

On 21st Mr.Tony and his friends visited little hearts and distributed Dinner Steel plates and steel glasses to all the children.

On 21st Ms.Priyanka (Pinky) who is studying 1st year dental medicine and regular visitor to little hearts donated mats to Little hearts.

The Right Now Foundation, UK has donated Rs.34,800 to buy new clothes to all the children for Christmas and New Year 2012. Thanks to The Right Now Foundation.

On 22nd we have received a call from Women & Child Welfare Department, Government of Andhra Pradesh, requested us to give short stay for an HIV mother of 3 children. They stayed at little hearts for 3 days and left back to their place.

This is an expensive month for Little hearts because spent money for repairing Bath Room, Toilets and painting work done inside walls.

Kindly accept my apologies for delay in submitting report to quarterly report to GG as my mother hospitalised due to
Galbladder, Pancrease problems.

Sincerely,

C.P.Kumar
HEARTS
