Contributions to Carmel Jyoti- a home for children infected and affected by HIV/AIDS.


Dear Members/Friends/Well wishers,
Greetings from People First Initiatives!

It is with great pleasure to let you all know that I, A. Romendro Singh, on behalf of People First Initiatives handed over a sum of Rs. 11,400/- in cash of Rs.2,400/-, SBI Cheque of Rs. 8,000/- and Citibank Cheque of Rs. 1,000/- on the 25th of January’ 2011 at Carmel Jyoti, Manipur. I was in Manipur for official work and hence, had managed to take out few minutes to visit the home at Mantripukhri, Manipur. I, also, handed over some basic medicines contributed by the Paediatric ART Centre, JN Hospital, Manipur.
I am honest to myself when I say this that, it has been possible with the constant support and encouragement that each of you have provided since the time People First Initiatives was born. The contributions have not been very much to bring about a paradigm shift in the issue of HIV/AIDS in the state of Manipur but we all should be proud of the fact that we are doing our best in little that we do to bring about little change among these children that matters to us the most.  I am very positive of the good things to come in years and I hope you are too.
It was shared to the Sisters that the above amount should be utilised only for ‘purchasing basic emergency medicines’ for children in need.  
We all are bonded by the ‘feeling for the cause’ and that we have a long way to go. The People First Initiatives would need your constant support and encouragement in days and years to come. We will also appreciate if each one of you are also able to throw open ideas on strengthening the group further.
If you or anybody (you know) wants to make contributions on monthly/half year/Annual basis the Carmel Jyoti will be more than happy to accept as the home is in dire need of support. Also, if any of you wants certification of the contributions you make I can facilitate the process in obtaining the same.
Kindly contact at:
