Why is there a difference in the amount of sponsorships of Indians and Non-Resident Indians/ foreigners?
First of all we want to point out that the sponsorship amount we receive from sponsors is inadequate to meet the total expenditures like tuition, health check-ups, study tours etc. To make good the deficit of funds, the project funds of Deepalaya are used. To meet the increase in the cost of postage for overseas correspondence to our sponsors, we were compelled to increase the amount of annual sponsorship payments to the extent of Rupees 500/- for foreign sponsors. We mail four Newsletters, two communications from the child, one annual report from the social worker, one Deepalaya annual report, greetings and wishes. Further every time there is a query from the sponsor to the child, it is replied to. Each mail costs Rupees 20/- to Rupees 25/-. Only after a detailed calculation, we arrived at this increase in sponsorship payments for NRIs/ foreign sponsors/ donors.
