Dear Friend, Greetings from Seva Mandir! Many thanks to all of you for responding to our call of support during ‘Give More and Get More’ Challenge. We did quite well in the challenge and you would be happy to note that we stood third with receiving over $35,000 across various projects. The funds are always helpful in continuing our work but that we can write to this community of supporters and rally support is very morale boosting. Thank you for your trust in us. We are truly grateful. With best regards for the Holiday Season, Sincerely, Deepti Read 8 more "Updates from the Field" | Comment on this update How Else You Can HelpSpread the Word on your Profile, Blog, or WebsitePut a widget for this project on your profile, blog or website to turn your friends into givers.
