Quarterly Newsletter - Winter Edition 2012 Who Are We/Mission: We are a student led non-profit charitable organization that helps to improve the lives of orphans worldwide and eliminate illiteracy globally by raising funds, awareness, and thinking of innovative solutions to help disadvantaged individuals. Completed Projects Honduras On October 14th, 2011, a special advisor to Students Helping Orphans Worldwide (S.H.O.W) visited an orphanage in Honduras called 'El Hogar', Spanish for The Home. Founded in 1979, El Hogar gives some 250 Honduran children a loving Christian home and teaches them in its three centres. Upon graduation, the students enter a middle school program where they continue their studies and growth. From there, the boys can choose to become licensed carpenters, welders, or electricians. The girls are housed in a separate location and are provided with education and vocational training in areas of employment for young women in Honduras. We at S.H.O.W donated $2,200 (HNL) for the care and well being of the orphans residing there.

India Some of you may have heard of this man. His name is Narayanan Krishnan. Naraynan Krishnan is an Indian chef who has turned into a social worker. He quit his career as a leading chef and began supplying meals to the homeless in India since 2002. Mr. Naraynan Krishnan founded his non-profit Akshaya Trust in 2003, which helps to feed the homeless and mentally-disabled in Madurai. He serves breakfast, lunch and dinner to 400 indigent and elderly people. He was also selected as one of the Top 10 in CNNs heroes of 2010. S.H.O.W. has contacted Mr. Narayanan and we have asked if we can work with him in the future. Hopefully, in the summer some members of S.H.O.W. will be in India and will try to spend time with Mr. Narayanan and help him continue with his tremendous work. Mr. Ghiasuddin Babukhan is a man of great vision, whose focus has been philanthropy and service to humanity. Mr. Babukhan established the Hyderabad Zakat (donation) and Charitable Trust in 1993, and FEED (Foundation of Economic & Educational Development) in 1995 to help in the educational development of the poor and needy in the society. His foundations consolidated and distributed donations which amounted to $1.2 (USD) million last year. In 2003, he established the Ghiasuddin Babukhan Charitable Trust, which brings in an annual income of $1.5 million (USD) for FEED programs throughout Andhra Pradesh, India. Mr. Babukhan's has started construction of the Hyderabad Institute of Excellence (HIE) in Vikarabad, about 70 kilometers from Hyderabad. The HIE will be built with world class facilities, which signifies his vision of excellence in all areas of education. The Institute will provide quality education for exemplary and needy students to enable them to be world leaders of tomorrow. In May 2011, executive members of S.H.O.W. met with Mr. Babukhan and we made the intention of working with him if we travelled to India. Also, we plan to help Mr. Babukhan with his FEED project and building a long and lasting partnership.
