2021 Project Status Update:

Due to Covid-19 concerns, second year in a row we have cancelled our yearly Diwali celebration and Team meet, we hope we all can meet next year in person for fun Team meet.

2021 Project Status Update:

We’re humbled to share with all your contributions and support we have received funds of over $4000 through which we can use to support eight new school projects for the year 2022. With the gift matching we can help around fifteen new students for the year 2022.

Students Benefitted from Seattle India Team Gift matching program:

Besides executing our school projects, this year, we have been striving hard to save students dropping from education due to family hardship. This year almost every alternate week, we have received requests to help students with their tuition fees through our Team friends. We’re humbled to share that Seattle India Team have fulfilled every request received and helped the students in timely manner from our gift matching pool. We have donated around $9500 and helped thirty-eight students pay their tuition fees.

Usually, we just simply see the number of students got benefitted, but behind these numbers there is a human aspect. The priceless smile on the student, the relief and gratitude from the parents, the hard work from Seattle India Team friends, and lots of coordination from the point help request received to the point the help has been delivered.

Special Thanks goes to following Seattle India Team friends for identifying and helping needy students - Lalitha Mohan, Mohan Shankar, Shanta Kumari, Ravi Modalavalasa, Mahesh Sreenivas, Shankar Adinarayanan, Grace Neal, Thiyagarajan, Srinivasan S., Ram Thiru, Vishal Ram and Sai Kumar. All the blessings and wishes from the benefitted family goes to all our Seattle India Team family and friends.
