We were touched by Rev. David Arnold’s message and we have started to give to missions through the local church. (i.e.Rs.2500/- ( Rs.1500/- for missions + Rs.1000/- for Project Rescue). But we are not happy to just give, we also plan to go.

b) However, in 2002 we had only 13 study centers and 379 students. But now by the grace of God, we have more than 605 study centers with more than 18500 students. At the same time the courier charge and freight have more than doubled. Therefore, we have had to necessarily request for you to please send a handling charge of Rs.20/- per student only towards the packing & forwarding expenses and not for the cost of the books. The books are FREE of charge. It is only the FORWARDING CHARGE that we request every student to give as a donation to cover the forwarding charges.
