"What OSF has taught me newly is a very good system. I will continue with this method they introduced here. The no-tilling concept is seen to be working. Because of proper mulching in the adverse post-rain season, the plants could grow well. The vermicompost which they encouraged us to use is a fresh concept to us in hillside. The plants are in good quality now."

We are learning lot of life lessons. Instead of abusing and being rude, we develop the ability to respect the opponent. We are trained in that manner through this basketball coaching and fitness program

About the time of my 6^th Standard final exams, I had to buy pen, pencils and stationery. But it was difficult to buy, with our situation. Fortunately, from Sahay Foundation, I was able to get pencil, scale, geometry box and other stationery. That helped us a lot. Thank you very much.

We did not have this facility before in this area. Participation in this coaching has helped reduce my stomach, this a great exercise.

I could learn the basketball game and am playing and knowing the game more. Got a lot of team playing discipline. Learnt not to fight. Even if fight flares up, we move to stop the fight.

My husband and I have two sons – studying in 11th,10th standard. A month before the exams, they were asking us to buy their school stationary and you helped us just before the exams. The boys are very happy. Thank you so much.

We have a son studying in 12th std. Your help in giving the stationery and related materials was quite valuable for him in his 12th Board Examination.

Mrs. Muniyamma, Perathur Village, Thiruvellore Dt., Tamilnadu

We have two daughters in high school. I was unable to meet their need of materials/stationery required at school, mainly because my husband is addicted to alcohol. I am also working, but with that we manage just for the essentials for our family and food. At the right time you helped our daughters. Thank you so much,

Mrs. Valli – Thiruvellore Dt. Tamilnadu

Now am studying in the 10th standard. I live at Perathur village. For the 9th final exams, even though I had studied everything, I did not have good stationery materials to write my exams. I was praying for it. Around that time, Sahay Foundation helped me with geometry box, pen, pencil etc. Then it was a good experience of doing the exam well. Many thanks from me and my family for the help.

Ravi Raj – Class 10 student, Perathur Village, Thiruvellore Dt., Tamilnadu

All high school children are benefitted by the School Education Kit given by OSF in this drought prone and remote region. My school has got an identity at last. Such help has not been provided by any organisation so far!
