This is Mrudula Pardhasaradhi. Physiotherapy is being done for Pardhu and he is
recovering well. He gained little bit strength in his knees and ankle joint is to be
strengthening. We truly thankful to all of you for your kind help and support. We are
receiving 7,500/- per every month towards his treatment and further needs. I am truly
grateful for having such a wonderful people like you around me and I always owe to you
for your generosity.
"Words can't express the gratitude I feel when I think about what abhaya has done.
Abhaya is truly a blessing in my life. Every member of abhaya is who sacrificed their
comforts for others without thinking of themselves. I don't think I could find a more
thoughtful, generous persons like you. But
one thing I can say that THANKS FOR
EVERYTHING. I thank Natarajan sir for his
kind support and help. He has been
extremely supportive and caring. Thank you
so much sir. I also very much thankful to
Sarath Pola and all of you for supporting me
in bringing Pardu back to his normal life.”

Update on Ramesh family:Ramesh's younger brother who is staying in the hostel fainted in the hostel. On enquiry we came to know that he discontinued taking medicines for Fits long back. After receiving the call from VVVK warden, abhaya immediately admitted that boy in Nilofer Hospital. The doctors said he is alright and advised to continue the medicines for Fits at least for two years. Ramesh and his Grand mother take care of the boy when he is in hospital. After three days of stay in hospital, the boy was discharged and sent to Hostel.
Nagamallu's leg got operated
Words can't express gratitude
I have visited Sweekar - Upakar this morning
and had a chance to speak with the Principal
Madam. She is very happy about the progress of
the children and asked to continue for at least
next 3 months. She told that she will engage
some intern candidates (who are on part time
project training) to give speech therapy (two or
three classes in a week) to both the children.
This may cost around 3000/- alone. But she can
manage without any fund from our side.
Sharvanee is very good and things continue the same way then by next few days she will be back to home with minimum oxygen support for some time and she will be completely fine soon. Thanks for blessings and prayers. Baby is recovering fast post Rudrabhishekam & Pallaki Seva of Lord Siva and My mother's visit to Kohir at Omkareswar Temple. – Rajanikanth, CTS, Hyderabad
I observed that there is a need for lending financial assistance to sweekar as they started new projects at Kadapa, tandur and Guntur. So altogether organization is bearing all the costs for the new ventures. The founder Dr. Hanumantha Rao garu is putting sincere effort in bringing these institutions by doing that is needed in the administration. They are looking for a capable person / Organization, who can help for their expenses and promote their works for further funding. – KSV Sivakrishna, Trustee, Hyderabad
Sharvanee… fast recovering
Divya & Sirisha… otherwise able kids: progressing well

The Report on Educare Review Meeting at HyderabadBaby took a very good session on skills required for a student/professional. I observed everyone was interested and gained some knowledge out of it. She gave some very good examples to motivate us. I felt very happy listening to those. I also gained lot of useful information. I spoke to few students and they all are very good and also bright students. But very few students turned up I feel. What would be the stopping factor for them is needed to know and to be corrected soon so that these sorts of things will not affect the system we developed. I feel, we need to be more careful about this I feel; as the foundation is growing day by day...we should be very careful at every instance and every action.
I spoke to anusha and dedipya, who came for volunteering. They are very cool in approach, I spoke to them about all my past experiences and action plan. I suggested them to form a small team themselves and come forward with good activities. - B. Sushma, Infosys, Hyderabad.
I am G V V Sathyanarayana everyone is fine with good health, Today I learned so many things in the seminar which was conducted by C.Baby with Power-point Presentation, the concept which she had selected "How to improved Communication skills and how to face the stage fear" was very interesting and it helps a lot for individual personality development. Every Communication must need Plan, Prepare, Practice, Present explanation, properly organized and everyone participated in the session with a lot of enthusiasms. - GVV Satyanarayana, CS Student, abhaya Value Center, Hyderabad.
I learned how to organise a meeting and what inputs we should exactly give them in the educare review meetings. But the only thing is many people didn't attend the meeting because of exams. But those who were there felt happy as they learnt something new and which is useful for their career and also self improvement. Thank you for giving me such an opportunity.
I was not able to read the newsletters regularly but from now I will do that and will come to know the updates. As I was not in touch with abhaya for the past 7 months, I didn't know some people but now I am clear, as I interacted with them personally they came forward to ask me about how to prepare aptitude or some information related to project work or how to give presentation in tech fests etc. I told them that they can speak to me for any sort of guidance in career or what so ever. I also told them that they should top the list in their college. Those attended the meeting yesterday are the people who are regularly sending the reports but i told them about the improvements they have to make in report writing. – C. Baby, Coordinator, abhaya Educare Team
I am fine and I hope all ABHAYANS are fine. My preparation is going well. Last
month I applied for group 1. But my main focus is on Bank Jobs only. As of now I
have been arranging my pocket money by doing part time jobs. But now I am
trying for a full time job in "Rajeev Arogya Sri", which will not disturb my
preparation. I have been contacting the Team Leads of that trust for the job. Last
month I have participated in ABHAYA voluntary meeting on 26th January. I felt
really happy for participating and celebrating the Republic day with ABHAYANS.
I have an important request to ABHAYA from me is, I want to stay at VALUE CENTER
for 4 months due to the following reasons:
tAbout 3 1/2 to 4 hours of Journey everyday (From Jagadgiri Gutta to Afjalgunz).
tI have completed my graduation with your support and now I am focusing on
Bank Po jobs seriously.
t3 important bank notifications in coming 4 months.
tMentally I am getting some disturbances when I am staying at home as I have
some family issues. That is why I want to change into another place.
tAs Mahesh is already gone through the IBPS written test, I can
get his support in preparation.
tValue center is nearby Central Library and RC Reddy study
Circle. So that I can attend free workshop classes which are
related to Banking / Economics.
tThe environment in Value Center is really good to prepare for
any competitive exams. - J Srikanth
After Joining abhaya foundation, I focused on Company Law and revising the topics
as well as attended the interview at Ahalada Firm, GVK Firm and R & A Associates
firm, with the scope I learn so many thing that I have to improve a lot in the field of
communication skills, drafting skills and how to express myself before others. I am
updating myself daily through perfect planning connecting with
positive activities like reading newspaper, gathering the
information from MCA, SEBI websites, improving drafting skills,
expression how to talk in English. After joining R & A Associates I
learn so many things like subject wise, commitment, be
responsible about the work. Every weekend office will conduct
seminars related to various subject. - G V V Sathyanarayana,

- G. Vanaja Rani
abhaya congratulate Subrahmanyam for he clearing CS executive level in the first
attempt. CS YV Rao, kindly given him opportunity for 15 months management
training in his firm at Hyderabad
abhaya feel proud to share with you that Narasimha is one
of 11 students placed in ADP out of 500 students in the
college
I am Jaladi Kannaboss, son of Jaladi Emmaniel, now I am
studying BCA final year in Andhra Loyola College, in
Vijayawada. Mother is homemaker, and we are 3
children. I have an elder brother and sister. We are facing
financial problem as my father have no job since 4 years.
I did schooling up to 7th in a government school, and the
next two years I didn't go school. In 2004 I joined in a
private school as a private candidate, I passed my SSC
with 56%, then joined in a private vocational college in
computer science & engineering in inter from second
year onwards, I worked in an internet café up to degree.
I completed Degree 2nd year with 72% score parti time
job is a cause of my less percentage. In my final year I worked at college faculty
home. For this academic year (2011-2012) I have to pay my college fees 21050/-
(Twenty one thousand and fifty rupees). I used all the money that I saved for my
college fees for my mother's sudden surgery. So when I am in need I got help from
Abhaya foundation for Rs.13000/-
Our college principal helped 3,000/- and college faculty helped another 3000/-. So,
till January, 2012 I paid 19000/- as college fees. And I still have to pay
2050/-. Indeed I am working as a part time in hailand for wages. About my sister
now she is studying in Maris Stella College B.Com Computers 2nd year, her annual
fees is 15,000/- and my brother, he is studying CEC 2nd year in Andhra Loyola
college. Since from 2 months, I am doing hardwork for my project. Also I had paid
approximately 2000/- rupees from my salary for final year 6th semester
examination fees. Exams for 6th semester will start from 15th March.
I am going for weekend works, and hardware and software servicing. I am going for
security and networking awareness classes. After my degree, I would like to work in
summer for any call centre so that, I may helpful to my family. - Kannaboss
He is in so many tensions, as there is no income source for the family. His father is
hopeless and mother got operated recently. Relatives helped to some extent for his
mother's surgery but they are not in a position to continue the help. Also, he took
some hand loans to extent of 2000/- for mother's medicine. They haven't even paid
their rent for the past two months. I spoke to his mother too. She is also guilty for
not being sent him for the Educare review meet.
Later I spoke to Suneel from Care. He too said the same about the condition of the
family. I came to know that one of the lecturer who promised Rs.3000/- hadn't kept
his promise. College administration is keeping pressure on him to pay that. I felt so
sad to know all these things. I asked Suneel to adjust money for his Hyderabad
journey and to accompany Kannaboss while he comes for abhaya this Sunday. I
told we will reimburse the travel expenses. I feel, there is a need
for him. He has just 2 months of course left and thinking to quit his
studies, for an income source. I suggested him to come to us first.
I feel, the case is genuine and he is a hard working guy. Even I
spoke to his college faculty, when he came to us for the first time.
We should think for assisting him for these two months, after that
he can join in any job. – KSV Sivakrishna, Trustee, Hyderabad
abhaya congratulate Ms. Gowri on her engagement with a Lab
Technician. Wedding will be on 18th March. Her B.Sc. (Nursing) will now be taken care by her in
laws. abhaya wish her all the best.

(students will dictate answers) in Hyderabad, kindly contact Ms. Naveena +91 94404 48002. Kindly pass on this information to your friends and well wishers. -Vandemataram foundation
I am fine, I hope everyone and everything is well. My preparation is good. During the
last month I attended to 6 mock tests(results not yet come) and also attended the
banking interview workshop at NSB (National school of Banking). I Applied for Union
Bank of India, syndicate bank and Bank of India for interviews. For Sankranthy, I went
to my village(after one and half year) for 6 days. During January I learned about
“Accounting” with support of CA Sathish in the Abhaya foundation. Thanks to Sathish
and Foundation. I tried several times to talk to the founder
personally, but I could not get time due to flow of guests/ visitors
or meetings. And also many times I tried to say something, I got
scolding due to no clarity at my side. My expenditure during the last
month is about Rs.4,000/- as I had to pay Application Fee for Banks
and bought Dress, Shoe etc., for attending interviews. I have
borrowed this money from my friend without informing abhaya. In
case if abhaya can reimburse this, I can pay back to my friend. The
said expenditure is being met by me without informing abhaya
team – M. Mahesh, IAS Aspirant.
I am well, I hope all our abhayans are also well. My Civil Service - preparation is going
good and I am happy to inform you that, I did well and stood in top 10 in the recent
mock tests held on 5th & 6th January. Earlier of this month on 5th January I have
started going to RK Math for spoken English, I am actively participating in the seminars
conducted by them. On the occasion of Sankranthi, I went to my village because of 4
days holiday and further considering the fact that I may not get that many holidays
again. I am trying to improve my communication skills and English with the support of
Abhaya in value center. And I applied for V.R.O, exam which is on
19th February, for this exam I may have to go to my district. On the
day 26th this month I joined Republic celebrations and meet some
new volunteers in Abhaya. I want to meet some higher
administrative officers for suggestion and experiences. I wish to
involve in Abhaya's future programs. I have given Rs.1000/- to
Abhaya value center for food expenditure .Purchased books and
magazines with cost of Rs.100/-. So this month my expenditure is
Rs.1100/- . - B . Satyaprasad, IAS Aspirant
Abhaya Value Center – an UpdateI was further thinking on the concept of Abhaya Learning Center... since this is a
program designed to help needy folks who want to get a break after their education for
a decent job, and we are helping them to upgrade their skills, it is obvious that they will
get a job and so whatever we spend on them, they should pay back in installments
after they join the job. Assuming abhaya spend on them about Rs.5,000/- pm for 3
months, then they should return that amount in 5 equal installments and that way we
will be cost neutral. On the other hand I do understand the philosophy of abhaya and
the subtle difference between helping and payback., but the idea was to motivate the
person who gets a job to help back the system that enabled this in the first place and I
am sure you can come up with the right mechanism
TBS if they are ok with such an idea, as agreed they can deploy 4 systems, and we
(abhaya) will take care of operating expenses if any pertaining to candidates from
abhaya Foundation. (for maintenance exp as TBT will provide rent/space/computer
and training facilities and paying a small stipend to the student to take care of his stay,
study etc., which will be given by abhaya directly to the beneficiary).
After 3 months , as per current TBT rules, we can suggest to have a cooling period of 1
month before people get paid, so by month 4 if the candidates are performing well, they
can well be placed on
the rolls of TBT or at
another place as the
case may be with our
contacts and relations
with the people around
in the industry. So
employment is kind of
assured. Look forward
to have your thoughts.

Well wisher of abhaya
Abhaya Learning Center – an Update
Abhaya Salute SAKSHI TV –
Team for their wonderful
empathy while telecasting the
interview of Founder through
“ Sakshi Salam” Programme
on 2nd February and there
after repeat telecast of the
same programme for couple
of times in the week.
“ H E A RT ” Awareness Update
SEWA – USA considering to
support abhaya Educare
Projects:
SEWA is considering to contribute around 50,000 Rs to
Abhaya foundation to support your activities. The actual
amount will be decided after receiving the form. For Abhaya
to receive the contribution, we require you to please send us
an Application form, Project Report in the area of Education.
Further Abhaya foundation should raise matching funds of equal amount that will be
spent in the identified project.
Please reply back to me if you have questions. We at SEWA appreciate the help Abhaya
Foundation is doing to help the needy in India. - Yaji Jayanti, SEWA International, USA
If I am right, the need of the hours is to get more donors. ABHAYA must help as many as
possible but that needs to be supported. I guess, we have many projects in hand which
needs support both in cash and kind. ABHAYA's good work has been covered by 3 major
players in media (MAA TV, EENADU SUNDAY BOOK and SAKSHI TV.)
There is a need to connect with more people personally and make them support us in any
form, to fulfill current projects. We should seriously think about some direct campaigns
of motivation in the corporate circles to have more helping hands. Such kind of direct
mailers may NOT give immediate results but can trigger someone at some point.
These can be made more effective by sending them on occasions like - Diwali, New Year
etc.
I just thought of sharing these kind of "MAKING PEOPLE HELP MORE PEOPLE" ideas
instead of giving publicity in any channel or paper that will bring more SEEKERS than
HELPING HANDS for the time being. I think, we need MORE HANDS now to help out
ABHAYA for the current projects.
I got a friend who can visualize the concepts in an ad agency. The direct
mailer idea can be decided by discussing with the team and he will design
it for FREE. I will write content. If needed, I can get a printer for
PRINTING those mailers with less costing. - Pavan Kishan, Agri Gold,
Hyderabad.
Thanks for sharing the happy and inspiration moments with prospective company
secretaries at Hyderabad. I too attended one such program as speaker. Further, some
of my Professional friends at Bangalore are planning to conduct some seminars /
workshops for students seeking training either with Company or PCS
especially covering the subjects like personality development,
communication skills, practical aspects at work places like. I will be happy
to have material if any from you for such programmes.
– CS Thirupal G, Company Secretary, Bangalore
I was trying hard to hold my tears…:
Yesterday, after 60years of my life, I happened to
participate in Republic Day Celebrations, in its true
sense, with "abhaya FOUNDATION", a voluntary
organization, doing excellent social service, specially
to the rural population.
I make an earnest appeal to all of you through this
m a i l t o V I S I T t h e w e b s i t e :
www.abhayafoundation.org. abhaya has a MISSION
called H.E.A.R.T (Health, Education, Awareness, Rural
Development& Transformation)
Yesterday there were quite a few of these youngsters
from very poor family back ground, whose parents are
either dead or even if alive, can't meet both ends meet
for a living. However, these are a very determined lot
who withstood all types of agonies in life, became
successful by completing Engineering, MCA etc., with
the support extended by abhaya FOUNDATION.
Further, they are also determined to see that their
fellow human beings, who are similarly placed in life, should be taken care like them and
are trying very hard to carry this mission forward.
I was trying hard to hold my tears when each one was narrating how they made it this
far and what more they want to do to the society. Please don't come to the conclusion
that I have become emotional after yesterday's interaction with these people. I just want
to share my experiences with you all so that together whether we can contribute
something, in our own way to this laudable mission of abhaya.
The least we can do is to register as volunteer and think and contribute in whichever
fashion we may. right now they are short of persons with experience in mentoring,
managing people who come on day to day basis for help. I will be happy to receive your
feedback on Abahaya after you see the site & this mail. - EJP Prasad, Retd LIC Officer,

and spoke to Sri Chalapathi Rao from the office of District Handloom Directorate
The team visited the village and interacted with families and conducted a meeting there in the village. 5 managers of Weavers
Cooperative Societies in the village present in the meeting and there were about 100 weavers assembled in the meeting. It has been
observed that the issues faced by them are multiple and solutions are also multiple.
After detailed discussions, it has been concluded that the issues faced by them cannot be resolved by NGO's and they are to be attended
by the Government. However abhaya informed the villagers that if they are able to list out at least 20 families whose sustenance is at
stake, then we can consider helping them in next 6 months.
It has been observed that there is a need to provide safe drinking water for the villagers and Panchayath is not really cared about such
things in the village. Abhaya intimated the villagers that if panchayath and villagers are able to provide space, infrastructure then
possibilities of setting up a mineral water plant can be explored by abhaya Foundation.
There were very less number of people who can lead such initiatives in the village as most of them are dead more than alive in the village
due to the issues faced by them in sustaining themselves.
Abhaya visited the abode of Kanakadurga at Indrakeelaadri, Vijayawada and offered prayers on behalf of all the villagers stating that she
should take care of them and sent special prasadam to the entire village.
Abhaya paid Travel Expenses of Diploma Students at AP State Home, Hyderabad for learning computer:
Abhaya has sponsored 19 Orphan / Semi – Orphan girl students of Final year Computer Science Diploma from AP State Home, Hyderabad for their traveling to the Course offered by
CMC Pvt. Ltd. The warden of home, Smt Nirmala requested the foundation to help those young girls to complete their final year studies. Keeping the majority in mind, abhaya readily
accepted the request and sanctioned fares for all of them for the course duration. Guided them to attend the course with complete interest and motivated them to get good grades in
their examinations. While we visit them, there were two girls, who should undergo a thyroid test and unable to attend lack of funds. The warden was not in a position to do anything to
those poor girls and request abhaya to do the possible help. After hearing their condition, we also sanctioned amount for their test and asked them to submit their reports after visiting
the doctor. - K S V Siva Krishna, Trustee.

“ H E A RT ” Transformation Update
I feel so small when I compare myself with you and your team who incessantly contribute time and
effort for uplifting and helping the needy people. A small correction, not that it makes any
difference though, you had categorized me as 'Indian Citizen' however I am an US citizen. Hats off
to your work and efforts - Raju Omkaram, USA
This is great work. I think Abhaya is growing from strength to strength. It only shows
how much more we can do if we can break through our mental shackles. Truely
inspiring. Thanks for sharing. I am seeing now, how HE is working through so many in
so many different ways. One may not agree with another's way of working because of
his narrow mind. But I am sure it's all part of HIS master plan.
– B.Venugopal, JP Morgan Chase & Co, Hyderabad
This is a great opportunity to go through the details of the god work happening through Abhaya
Foundation. This NGO is the chosen one by GOD. – Jagannath, Hyderabad
Good to know about all your efforts. I cannot do much but want to do so much, that the
reason I have transferred Rs. 500 from my Axis bank account. Thanks for all the good
work in the Society. - Aparna Girivasan, Hyderabad.
I have transferred Rs.2000/- which is a small contribution on the eve of
my marriage to abhaya account. I would be happy to have abhaya team at my
wedding at Khammam, but I know how valuable is a week end for the team,
hence I cannot expect you to be there, but definetly, I will meet you along with
my husband during the next week. – Anusha Jaladi, TCS, Volunteer, abhaya
Foundation.
abhaya received first donation under FCRA
I recently saw your interview in Sakshi TV, it was very inspiring. I salute
all of your team. On abhaya's website I saw the project for orphan care
and I wanted to contribute my little to it. I have made a transfer to
Andhra bank account as per your website. I have sent GBP200 which is
around 15,380 Rs. At the current exchange rate but might vary slightly. I
am only writing to ensure that it reached the correct account. With Love,
Sai Jahnavi, UK
Trust all well at your end. On the occasion of my birthday on Feb 17, I thought it's a
good thing to donate and do some good karma and Abhaya is on my list of eligible
organizations that I donate regularly. I will be arranging to deposit a cheque in your
favor for an amount of Rs. 5000/- be deposited in Axis Bank @ Nariman Point Branch,
Mumbai. This is donation towards the education of the students of the Abhaya School
- Kashyap H Choksi, Mumbai
I have transferred an amount of Rs.1500/- to Abhya Axis bank account. I will contribute again in the
month of April”2012. - Satya Chenna, WIPRO
nAs of date the foundation is in receipt of about Rs.1,00,000/- from regular contributions per month. Apart from Regular Contributions of all the trustees, Sri KSV Sivakrishna, CS Balachandra Sunku and Mr. G Subramnayam are able to motivate their friends and bringing many monthly donors. All other trustees were requested to take lead role in a proactive way to connect the more like-minded people to foundation and bring in regular donations for doing good work.
nSetting up value centers for students aspiring for professional courses like IAS, CA, CS etc at various places in Tamilnadu/ Karnataka/ Hyderabad be explored by the members.
nThe trustees requested to connect one corporate to abhaya in every Financial Year.
nThe Founder expressed his views to dedicate his life for doing community work in view of increasing activities of abhaya since last couple of years on the pretext of opinions shared by various well-wishers. He informed to the meeting as of now he was not able to balance his time between abhaya activities, administration, supervision, professional commitments attached to employment. Whereas while recognizing the fact that there is a need for a dedicated team to work for abhaya going forward, everyone opinioned that Founder should defer his decision at least for couple of years and they are there with him if situation demand in future while he decide to dedicate his life for godly work happening through abhaya Foundation.
nThe trustees suggested that the best way to provide little balance to the executive teams is to separate the administrative function from the main activities of the foundation and the same can be handled by the paid staff, so that persons like founders, trustees, well wishers can dedicate their entire time in main activities of the foundation. In view of the above, it was decided to set up a full-fledged office for the Foundation for smooth running of the activities of the foundation in achieving its mission.
nNeed for giving helping h a n d s t o M r. K S V Sivakrishna while he is trying to bring the abhaya soft ware tool for the use by the team.
