On this Rosh Hashana Eve, we would like to personally thank you for enabling us to provide nutrition and literacy for children living in the Mumbai slums. We have only been in operation for less than four months, but we think you will be proud of our achievements:
Let's hope that in the upcoming year , 5773 (2012-13), we are able to increase these numbers by at least three- fold! Please join us in our campaign to provide nutritious meals and quality education to the children living in the slums of India. Join us to fight malnutrition and illiteracy and help us give these wonderful children a better future!
The staff and current volunteers at Gabriel Project Mumbai would like to thank you all again for your continued support in helping this Jewish initiative for providing literacy, education and nutrition to the children living in the slums of India. We could not have done all this without you!
We would like to wish you all a Shana Tova Umetuka, a Sweet New Year!
Warmest regards,
GPM volunteers in Mumbai.
