A humble request to increase your generosity towards orphans.

Dear sir/mem
Have a great day!

We are happy to introduce our NGO Guru Foundation to you all. It has been functioning for the last 5 years. We are happy to inform you that we are planning to start a computer lab facility within our organization to help children use computers for education and other educational purposes.

This lab will have 50 computers with LAN capability and internet access. This will help our children become smart by upgrading themselves with the latest technology.

The total budget of this project is 22 lakhs, the remaining 18 lakhs are needed to make the proposed computer lab operational.

We expect you to donate generously to this noble cause. Your contribution will make a big difference in the lives of these orphans. We expect the same warm and kind support from you. Thank you again for all your kind and generous support in helping to make a big difference in the lives of orphans.

Thank you
