Dear friends, this is an important message. One year ago and two...

Dear friends, this is an important message. One year ago and two years ago, you, some of the followers of this page, contributed to a great cause. Together we, The Atlas of Beauty community, changed the lives of some children that live in desert tent camps around Pushkar, India.

I asked you twice to help Sunita(the girl from the photo) and other children from her community who live in tents, and because of your generous donations to a local NGO, they were able to go to school and receive food and medical care. Your support was critical, and it made a big positive difference in their lives. But now they really need your contributions, again. Be assured that this a a cause where every penny is spent in the most effective way for the benefit of these children.

Below is the whole story that I posted when I visited the camps, two years ago. Please spread it and make a donation. It really makes a difference.

————————————————————

Sunita is one of the beautiful children that live in desert tent camps around Pushkar, India. Many tourists photograph her, because of her spectacular eyes, but a few are interested to help.

She badly damaged her left hand when she was little. Her father died almost a year ago. The tent camp communities have no power or plumbing, and there are a lot serious health problems.

In the last years Brett, from the US, helped this community, providing medical care and free education, using mostly his own savings. But now his savings are over and he needs support to continue this essential work. I met him in Pushkar and I saw with my own eyes how much he supports these children, and their desperate need of help. Their stories are heart-breaking. Some of the babies are in danger of starvation and they are in desperate need of help.

Brett operates a school for 30 of these children, with well-qualified teachers and a nurse, and free food and medical care. He helped Sunita with hand surgery 18 months ago, and she is attending the school, coming by bus every 50km round-trip. She is excelling in Hindi, English, and Math, and wants to become a nurse or teacher. She just had her first ever birthday party at school, at age 13!
