 They are in need of 5 ceiling fans and aprox 250 note books for this year.

 Long note books -------> 40

Small size books -------> 185

4 line books      ---------> 25

 Members who wish to donate note books or fan instead of donating money can send a mail to goure.deshpande@gmail.com.

If we join our hands together we can be of greater help than contributing individually. So let’s work as a team.
