An Invitation to Participate and Help in VSEI’s Work

VSEI (Volunteers in Service to Education in India, Inc.) is an organization dedicated to assisting development in India by helping in improving education and making it more relevant. Our efforts are especially devoted to the education, welfare and upliftment of children and women in need.

We request your participation and help in our work. You can help the education and welfare of children and women in India in different ways through V.S.E.I.; some of these are:

-- "Adopt" one or more VSEI projects, help with your generous tax-deductible contributions, and help get support for these projects from others also.

-- Help establish scholarships for needy, deserving children, perhaps in the name of someone you wish to honor.

-- Help in VSEI's fund-raising work, esp. in getting donations for funding our projects.

-- Sponsor a needy child through the VSEI Sponsor-a-Child Plan, and help find other long-term sponsors.

-- Become a member, and encourage others to become members.

[ Please note that the complete amount of your donations for projects will be used to benefit one or more projects in India. ]

We also request your help in talking to others about VSEI, and getting their interest and support.

We appeal to you to help by contributing generously in one or more ways. Your satisfaction will be in helping a deserving child to get started towards a better life that most of us take for granted, and in building something of lasting value in India.
