Expenses...

I have been getting a few emails about the expenses of this project. So far this project was mainly being funded by my family. But now i do have to expand the scope a little and get some more people to help me out.

So far my monthly budget is as follows -

Lunch (for about 15 to 20 children at Rs.10 each) - Rs. 7200
Teacher (who teaches craft work) - Rs. 1500
Raw material cost - Rs. 2000 (so far we have only purchased cloth for making bags...everything else has been made out of waste).

Going forward, i am planning to hire another person to teach tailoring to the boys (so far the boys had been learning at Jan Shikshan Sansthan - a vocational institute but the institute has added so many students in each class that the teacher is hardly able to give the extra attention that these boys need).

Expected salary would be - Rs.1500

i have been able to convince the family of 3 children to send them to school. the school - Sikhya is free but since it is far off from where these children live, we have to dole out money for auto or bus - Rs. 350 per child = Rs. 1050

let me know if anybody wants to contribute on any of the above mentioned expenses.

***I might rent out a place but am not sure on that since Chandigarh is really expensive. I am trying to convince the Director of Jan Shikshan Sansthan to give us some dedicated space for free.
