An Appeal Letter


Dear J.V Students (former)

	Before we make an appeal to you to help us help our parent 
organization - STREE SEVA MANDIR - a word about her or rather a 
recall of what you already know.

	Stree Seva Mandir, a voluntary social service organisation 
founded in 1949, believes in emancipating, caring and totally 
rehabilitating destitute women, widows and neglected children. The 
Mandir started in a very tiny way in the shade of a tree. It has 
grown rapidly and is growing with the support of philanthropists
and benefactors.

	The constitutional aims of the Mandir are institutional 
care, education, vocational training, employment and community 
welfare. The main aim is however total rehabilitation of the 
destitute, the widow, the deserted wife, the orphan child and 
those others who suffer from social and economic handicaps, and all 
those coming from very backward and scheduled communities, without 
any communal, religious, political and linguistic bars, true to the
principles of social justice. The Mandir has more than 20 units.

	We make an appeal to you, our children and well wishers, to 
lend a us a helping hand in running our Homes. Those that need 
immediate supporting hands are :

1. Jubilee Home for the care of destitute children.
2. Kasturbha Gandhi Home for women and children.
3. Vanaprastha and Sabari Homes for senior citizens.
4. Shirdi Sai Baba Anand Ashram - a home for homeless destitute 
   orphan girls.

  	This appeal is made earnestly with a simple philosophy, to get
from the 'haves' and give to the 'have nots'. 

	Any help from you will be most welcome. Our  gratitude will be 
in the form of prayers for your and all your dear ones.

	With all good wishes,
