Rajeev

Dear Friend,

     Rajeev was infected by polio during childhood and both his legs were affected, polio is a degenerative disease so he continues to lose capacity in his arms, but mostly a weakness now, he still has the ability to operate a computer.

     Before coming to our training center Rajeev had graduated from Business College but his lack of computers meant it was impossible to get work.  He quickly picked up computer skills and realized that with additional training he would be able to excel in business.

    He began advanced training alongside Daniel and helped with extra projects that built his coding skills.

     Rajeev now has a job at the local University in the business office and has twice been recognized for his contribution to the institutions success.  Because people like you care the training has changed Rajeev’s life!

     Your gift is helping young people with disabilities gain hope and self-confidence through computer training. A few months ago I was able to see the previous class graduate. Your gifts enable them to go through training and receive a quality education in computers.  Now they are working and growing in confidence.

      Many of the students come from poor families and because of their disability, they are oppressed and marginalized. The stigma is they can't do anything or pursue a career.

     Thank you for changing lives and helping people like Rajeev. Your gifts bring the change that transform lives. Without you, Rajeev, and others like him, would suffer needlessly.

Sincerely,

John Sparks
