Out of 34 students who signed up for computer course teaching basic computer skills, (<a href="http://mkcl.org/mscit/index.htm">http://mkcl.org/mscit/index.htm</a> ) 9 showed interest in taking a certification examination before the end of the year. And 2 students took their MSCIT examination on October 27th, 2009. The remaining 7 students will take their examination in the following weeks. Results are usually made available in 30 days. All the students are confident of passing the examination.<br /><br /><strong>Project: Path To Bright Future - Sumati Balwan, Pune</strong><br />with you generous donation, we were able to raise $2056 as of October 31st, 2009. We are still fairly short of our target $12,000. Please help our cause by visiting our website and making a donation towards the project. <a href="http://beyondintent.org/sumatibalvan.aspx">http://beyondintent.org/sumatibalvan.aspx</a><br /><br /><strong>Event: Fund Raising</strong><br />We raised $500 through our Fund Raising Event organized in San Diego in August, 2009. All the funds will go towards our upcoming projects.<br /><br /><strong>Donation in kind</strong><br />Mr. Girish Mehta, a businessman from Mumbai donated 4 solar lamps to the Gangadhar Baba Orphanage. These lamps are easily available in USA in stores for a decent price. While viewing the orphanage picture gallery on our website, he noticed that the dinner is served in the front yard. And without electricity sometimes it becomes difficult to manage everything in dark. We got a feedback from the manager at the orphanage that the solar lamps were easy to install, portable and provide at least some source of light while the kids are out in the open having their dinner. They really loved the idea and requested if we could send a few more.
