Support Students to Appear at the SSC Exam 2011

Goal

The primary objective of this initiative is to raise a fund for the financially challenged students (SSC'011 candidates) to help them covering up their SSC'01 examination registration (form fillup) expenses. For many parents/guardians, paying this fee is a huge burden which forces premature drop out of many talents. We believe that with a little support from all of us, we can atleast ensure that these students are not stuck at the very early stage of their careers.

Previous Initiative

In previous years since 2008, we had been taking similar initiatives each year. With the generous financial support from a lot of kind hearted people staying in different parts of the world, we were able to help 29 students from 7 different districts to pay their SSC form fill up expenses. Here is the summary:

Total Number of Supported Students	29
Total Number of Female Students	12
Students from Districts	7
Total Number of Contributors	-

Student Informaion

Using our existing network, we have identified a list of students. These students are selected based on their achievements at school, recommendations by the school teacher/headmaster, financial need and an overall evaluation by a local guardian. In process of our similar initiatives since last several years, we had been able to get in touch with a number of teachers at different schools, and people who responsibly can act as a local guardian of a student at remote places. Our student selection process is a combined effort of all these volunteers.

Our representatives personally contacted these students and their families (this is in progress and will be updated soon).
