This year 165 students completed their education and started working choosing their career. They thanked their sponsors for providing financial assistance, courage and moral support and helped them to achieve their goals. This year 355 students applied for scholarship and 120 students are awarded scholarship. Still many students are in the waiting list. We are grateful to all our sponsors who recommended to their friends and associates for sponsoring such students. Still many students are in the waiting list. We will be extremely thankful, if you are kind enough to give the necessary publicity to this and ask your friends and associates to visit our website www.iseaf-info.org Both our technical institutes, BHUMIKA TECHNICAL INSTITUTE, Palye and KEERTI VIDYALAYA TECHNICAL INSTITUTE, Siolim are running very well. Since all the students who completed their education get jobs, there is a big demand for admission. We are forced to take special permission from the government to admit extra students in some trades as there was great demand from parents and students. Some teachers got cash awards from the management for achieving 100% results in their subjects. 1
280 girls work for our Home Nursing Bureau. In spite of that we are not in a position to provide home nurses as per the requirements. Presently 70 students are being trained in three batches in our technical institutes. 2000 square meter land was given to ISEAF on lease by the sisters of Holy Cross. Soon we will be starting construction of a full fledged Hotel Management Institute here. The paper work is almost completed. VALENTINA S LITTLE HEAVEN, the orphanage in South Goa is being supported by us continuously. The work of the five toilets and bathrooms are completed. This is in addition to the school bus, well and over head tank with 24 hours water supply, the concealed ceiling to protect the children from heat. Once again we thank all our sponsors who contributed for this project and make it possible. The students and staff members of ATMAVISHWAS one of the school for mentally challenged students of North Goa are happy and functioning very well. Mr. Schwartz during his last visit supplied all the equipments, teaching aids and furniture they asked for. The teachers told that we made their work easy by supplying all the required materials. We are really touched to see that some sponsors come all the way to India to meet their students, others send gifts and presents to their students regularly. Some provide family assistance besides the scholarship. We would like to suggest to our sponsors, please do not send gift to your students directly. It may get lost on the way and may not reach your student. If you want to send a gift to your student please inform our office in Germany and we will get intimation from them immediately and we can arrange the payment and we will inform you about the payment with the photograph of your student. You are free to ask us for any help concerning your students and we will be happy to provide you any information about your students. Please find enclosed herewith stories of some of our scholarship students and students of our technical institutes who completed their education. We wish you a Merry Christmas and a prosperous & Happy New Year. With warm regards 2
