Dear Friends,

It is all about the initiatives we have planned to help the soceity and the people in need for various medical, educational aspects. The whole idea is based on the requests we have been getting through emails and the continued support from friends for the same till this time.

Here you go.

• #1. What exactly are we going to do?

  The initial plan is like collecting an affordable amount from the volunteers and accumulate it in a separate account in ICICI bank. As of now there are two activities decided at present.
  

  1. Contributing to the requests we get for the help by maintaining a minimum/decent balance in our account.
  2. Visiting some Homage/Orphanages and help them as much as we can on a monthly basis.

• #2. What way I can be of some help here?

  As narrated earlier, you can contribute an affordable amount of your interest. The affordable amount can be Rs.100/- (or Rs.50/- if 100 seems to be more for an individual by considering the current economical situation of every individual) with no upper bounds.
  
  If you are willing to contribute more on monthly basis or any special occasions, you are most welcome!

• #3. Is s(p)ending money the only way?

  At present this would suffice. Keeping track of the contributions and updating the volunteers with the detailed SOA (Statement of Account) would be taken care by me. Once the team and activities get stabilized, we can plan for more in the future and you all would be invited for your valuable service.
  
  Meanwhile you can very well let us know about the needy and the cause.

• #4. How can I send the money?

  Interested people can send an email to my email id Raghavan@shade.org.in with the subject "Willing to be of some help to others - Subscribe". I can direct them further by providing the account details and other instructions.

• #5. Are there any other restrictions?

  As such what we feel is the contributions from the volunteers should be 100% from their whole hearted willingness. Keeping that in mind, there are NO restrictions enforced to the volunteers.
  
  It is all YOURS and it IS very much flexible to YOU. To quote a few,
  

  1. The individuals can take a break in the middle if he/she feels that the commitments on that period is little more and they need a break.
  2. If an individual can't continue his contributions after some duration, absolutely there are no issues!
  
  Sending an email intimating the same (for the aforementioned breaks) would be highly appreciated.
  
  All what we want to ensure is that the amount contributed by him/her till then is with his/her full interest and conscience and NOT just because of someone's influence or reference.

Please feel free to revert for any further information/clarifications.

You may please forward this email to your friends who may be having similar interests.

Many Thanks,
Raghavan alias Saravanan M.
