It’s been another hectic half-term but I have not forgotten that on my ‘reading pile’ is the latest edition of the quarterly newsletter I received from Project Mala. I appreciate very much receiving this double-sided A4 page of words and pictures as it seems a perfect way for a child-sponsor such as me to keep in touch with the organisation that I am keen to be involved with, even though other commitments may limit my availability to do so. I am reminded that being a child-sponsor with Project Mala is ideal for me as I am not required to do anything on a regular basis or specific date ~ other than ensure there is £9 per month available in my account on the date of the direct debit ~ yet I receive much from the sponsorship arrangement including interesting information and intriguing insights of life in India.
It doesn’t take me long to read through the extremely well-written newsletter so I am able to read every word and find out a lot about the project, the pupils and life in eastern Uttar Pradesh. As I read the newsletter I reminisce about my own school-days. I learn a thing or two too!
As always, I am impressed with the dedication of those who work for the project and the attitude and achievements of the children. There is some sad news conveyed in this edition of the newsletter; I appreciate the sensitive way the matter has been handled by Project Mala. I enjoy looking at the colour photos which show the remarkable range of activities undertaken by the pupils, teachers and other people involved in Project Mala. Why not have a quick look at a copy of Mala News now so you can see for yourself what I mean? Pdf copies of the newsletters are available on the Project Mala website, just click here!
