birthday and have donated all

their birthday gift money to Uplift a Child to support a child for

12 years of education.

We are amazed at the spirit of the little children who came

forward to do something like this. They are leading by example

from a young age. All of us at Uplift a Child are thankful to

them and proud of them.

Vyshnavi Kolli, She is the daughter of one of our sponsors Mr. & Mrs. Shiva &

Sushmitha Kolli. She did not celebrate her birthday in a big way

as they usually do all the time.

This time, Vyshnavi have seen her parents talking about how

they are helping children for education in India and why they are

doing it. At her little tender age, she felt and told her parents to

donate the expense money towards Uplift a Child so that another

child can go to School.

OUR SPONSOR’S SPECIAL CONTRIBUTION

We would like to thank many of our sponsor’s families who have done the following

1. Some of our sponsor’s children have donated their birthday gift money to Uplift a Child

2. Some of our sponsor’s families have donated the money from their anniversary programs to

Uplift a Child.

3. Some of them made a commitment to donate 25% of their will to Uplift a Child

4. Some of them are restaurant owners and have donated the tips money to Uplift a Child at the

end of the year.

5. Some of them have actually donated the money they have for God’s gift towards sponsoring

hundreds of meals (food for our children during our annual events)

ADOPT A CHILD FOREVER PROGRAM

We now have started a new program called “Adopt a Child Forever Program”. For US $2,500 we can

support a child forever by depositing the money to a fixed deposit in the bank and the interest is enough to

pay for annual expenses for a child in our program in India. Now many sponsors are considering this

program and sponsoring children in their parent’s name, foundation name or in memory of someone whom

they love so much. With this money, we support a child for 12 years and then pick a new child and support

for 12 more years and the cycle will continue forever.

OUR FINANCIAL REPORT

Our goal for 2014 is $ 245,000. We received a total of US $210,000. We are short by $35,000 as of

12th

December, 2014. We are thankful to the contributions from 580 individual sponsors as well as few

company matching funds. The financial report for 2014 will be available online for anyone once it is ready

on guidestar.org.

OUR PLANS FOR 2015

1. Through the inspiration of Walkathon by high school girl Rachana Krishnan, we have a desire to do

Walkathons in at least 3 locations in US next year. We have our website ready where people can register

online for walkathon. We can decide if we will do $ 25 or $ 30 for the registration. This will be either a

5K walk or a 2K walk. We invite anyone who would like to take lead and make a difference.

2. After our three successful dance events, some more dance schools have come forward to do some events

in the name of their Dance school. We invite anyone who would like to be a part of Uplift a Child to do

a fundraiser and we can take care of all the expenses.

3. We are not planning to take too many children in 2015 but we will continue to improve quality in

existing children with the help of our local volunteers. We may take a few children since we have

promised them the previous year.

4. We are inviting our Sponsors to conduct the Annual Children Programs during their visit to India with

the assistance of Uplift a Child India team. We are looking for any of our current sponsors to conduct

2014 programs in Karmatar and Bisunpur in Jharkhand, Naxalbari in West Bengal and Gossaigaon in

Assam.
