Overall we
made good progress in 2012, we had some of our old
sponsors coming back to sponsoring the needy students they have identified
through their local contacts in India, which is really great. This is what helps
this platform to serve its purpose and sustainable in the long-run. We also had
more new sponsors joining WeReachOut in 2012, many of
them extended their support by bringing new sponsors through their social
networks and made this platform useful to many well wishers to make a
difference.

We need
volunteers to plan for the following activities this year,
1)
New
admin team members for WeReachOut (Just 2 hours on a

The admin team will be meeting in
