Let's sail many more boats

Early this month, our dedicated supporters all over Spain received a little offering from us in the post. As a thank you to our thousands of sponsors and donors — people and orgainsations who have donated (regularly or even once) to our charity — we send out a letter and a token of our gratitude every year.

This year, besides a letter from General Director Jaume Sanllorente, the package included an illustrated story called Babu's boats. The story (Los Barcos de Babu in Spanish) is about a boy named Babu who wanted to go to school but couldn't afford to because his family was too poor. Eventually, Babu is helped by a mysterious stranger and realises his dream.

Along with the story, we also sent out little paper boats, made by the kids in our balwadis, which were symbolic of Babu's dream. After weeks of cutting, inserting and pasting, the packages made their way to homes all over Spain.

Thank you, once again, for your generosity. And join us in helping many more real-life Babus sail boats filled with dreams.
