Help disadvantaged Bengali children + young people

Respected Elders,

We express our hearty thanks for all that you have been doing for us during the years.

We are the most senior students of FR. ANTE GABRIC MEMORIAL SCHOOL, under the management of NEW LIFE CENTRE, on the delta of Sundarbans, West Bengal, INDIA.

We are studying in this school from very early childhood from Lower Kindergarten and now are the students of IX & X and our average age group is from 13+ to 15+ years. We will be very fortunate to receive quality education and achieve so much good things in life from this school.

We were in the group of only 39 students on 5th June 2005, when our school was just inaugurated and now we are in the group of 450 students. We want to go a long way in our academic career and would wish all the other younger ones following us should transform into better life as we are in ahead.

Therefore on behalf of all the students, we appeal to all respected elders, please help us to put up more classrooms on the top of upcoming building in front where we are standing.

The Founder & Director of our Institution Mr. Alindra Naskar sacrificed all he had possessed to bring up this institution. His aim and objective is to bring up this as a model educational institution and keep open a door of hope for many least fortunate children.

We feel proud and happy to let you know all about us and submit before you our appeal for your kind support.

Thank you so much to you all

With Our Heartfelt Regards

The Senior Students of
FR. ANTE GABRIC MEMORIAL SCHOOL
Under the management of NEW LIFE CENTRE.

Alindra Naskar started a school in a small village in West Bengal in 2005 with 35 children. Today there are about 450.

His 'New Life Centre' school has recently been awarded Secondary school status and this will have a huge impact on its future.

It has taken him years to have this status confirmed, involving many visits to government departments and numerous forms to be filled in, but following his vision of educating the children of this poor region, Alindra has been relentless in this pursuit.

This will mean that the children in his school, such as these older boys, will not have to transfer to the government school where 90% of them leave without any qualifications, but can stay at the New Life Centre and leave with qualifications, equipped to sustain themselves and their families.

By comparison, the government schools in this region of West Bengal appear woefully equipped and are left to their own devices. The New Life Centre provides a higher standard of education and a better chance of securing further education should these children want it.

This is the whole point; education is the key to a better future and Alindra has made that possible for these children who until now had little hope of escaping the poverty trap.

Wouldn’t you like to join with us and help create a better future for these children?
