2nd Year Engineering Student Needs Help

Aaghaz Foundation has received a case of this very unique muslim boy - who is brilliant academically. This boy is in 2nd year of Engineering from Integral University, Lucknow. In his 1st year - he passed out with 76% of marks. The boy's father (who was working with Indian Airforce) expired when the he was 2 years old, and another brother who was few months old. The pension of father from the Airforce is Rs. 2000/- per month hardly enough to raise the children - hence mother worked hard by working in Chikan outlets in order to give her both the sons quality education. This boy topped the entrance exams, and managed to get an admission in Integral University; but unable to pay even the 1st year's fees - his case was forwarded to us by his school teacher. Aaghaz took the boy's cause and managed to pay the entire fees of Rs.50,000/- for the 1st year. Now this boy is in 2nd year, and the boy's mother has managed Rs.15,000/- towards his fees, but the balance of Rs.35,000/- could not be managed, and the last date to submit the fees is July 15, 2006.

Aaghaz needs pledges from our respected members so that we can fund balance amount of Rs. 35,000/- towards this boy's 2nd year fees.
