Assam Foundation of North America (AFNA), has been supporting ( and planning to support ) a number of educational institutions and orphanages for the underprivileged children. These include Parijat Academy and Snehalaya at Guwahati , Asha Darshan in Tamulpur , Prajnalaya at Jorhat and Rural Volunteer Force at Dhemaji , Assam.
AFNA in collaboration with these institutions has recently started a program ‘Sponsor a Child’. With this program, an individual can sponsor the educational cost of a child, who without the sponsorship may not be able to complete his/her education. Our initial plan is to sponsor Rs 2,000 to Rs 5,000 per child per year. We'll send you the child name with photos with details information. You can write letter to them, you can talk with them in the school telephone, and you can send them greetings card and books through the school library. The objective of this initiative is to build a bond between we the expatriates and our people back home. May this good relationship between you and your sponsor child will go for ever and it will be a great blessing for the children.
We are also planning to include the victims of the recent bomb blast in Assam. There are a number of children whose parents died or gravely injured in this carnage. Many of them are staying in orphanages and they may not be able to continue with their education without help from public.
Debojit Bora , our senior member of AFNA is visiting Assam early next month and would personally hand over the sponsorship contribution to the students. We appeal you to support our program.
AFNA is a non-profit organization registered under section 501(c)(3) of the IRS code with Tax I.D # 61-0994468
