Assistance is needed in all aspects of the work. It is only through donors' generous assistance that this divine work can continue.

Financial assistance is required for the purchase of fishing nets, the repair of boats, the construction of the orphanage, the construction/renovation of the women's social service center, and also for every aspect of the new model village. All donations are tax deductible in India, USA, UK and Canada.

Further, donations in kind will be greatly appreciated. For example:

1. We are going to open a computer center at the orphanage/women's social service center so the children and also the young, poor girls and young widows can learn computer skills. We are also going to have a computer center in Karaikkal in the model village. Donation of new (or used in excellent condition), computers and computer equipment will be greatly appreciated.
2. Donation of new sarees for the women in the social service center and new clothing for the orphaned children will also be greatly appreciated.
3. Donation of new (or used in excellent condition) laptop computers and handheld PDA systems for our volunteers are required. Our volunteers are working on site in Pondicherry, Cuddalore, Karaikkal, etc. and don't have access to computer facilities or internet. Laptops and PDAs will enable them to do the work from wherever they are.
4. Donations of time and expertise: people who have experience in building, architecture, design, urban planning are always very helpful. If you are an expert in any of these fields and have the time to volunteer, please let us know.
5. Donations of time: volunteers are needed for fundraising, preparation of power point presentations, applications for grants, and other PR work. If you have the time and ability/experience in these fields and have the time to offer, please let us know.
