Support a Child

Take a leap of faith this year! Consider opening your heart and sponsor a Child/ Youth from AFNA’s Adopt-
A-Child Program. You may sponsor an individual Child, or many Children! A sponsorship of $100 covers the
child’s expenses for a year. Your sponsorship may be for a year, or for every year until the child graduates
from school and college. You may guide and mentor the child throughout his/her developing years… You
can make a huge difference and impact a life for the better. You may do so on your own, or through
volunteers at AFNA. Nevertheless, your sponsorship would be connected with a Child and his/her progressed
monitored via feedback from volunteers. Your support would provide the child a place to live, three meals a day,
school expenses and ABOVE ALL encouragement, guidance and love you and your family will experience with your
new sponsored child!
It is a noble and charitable experience—impacting another child and expanding your world of influence! With your
permission, your sponsorship may be published at AFNA’S publications or your donation may remain anonymous.

Domestic Workers in Guwahati and Society for Social Transformation and Environmental Protection(sSTEP)

By Ms Smita Das

Domestic work at its best is a form a livelihood, a symbiotic relationship between a middle or upper classes working family, and a poor individual in a state of desperation. With living quarters, food, and shelter provided, domestic work is a means of surviving, urbanizing, saving, and possibly attaining social mobility. However at its worst, domestic work can be considered modern day slavery. Domestic workers are often restricted from leaving their household, invisible and unreachable to interested organizations or researchers.
