"In this world no child is born imperfect. Every life is a blessing and a hope for mankind. Education is the primary catalyst which transforms ignorance to hope as Swami Vivekananda had long back said – “Education is the manifestation of the perfection already in man.”

I have been highly impressed by the two most important issues that Smile Foundation speaks of in its effort to spread the light of education amongst the children of the underprivileged population in the country. It speaks of education as a tool to generate productive assets and also of partnership.

I chose to be a member of the Smile Foundation Family because it is here where I envision a prospect to contribute to a better, healthier and an enlightened India of the future."

I have always believed that education is an effective tool for mankind to understand everything in a correct and broader way. I came to know of your organisation while watching a TV programme in which Smile children performed a few months ago. Later on I checked about Smile on the internet to convince myself further that we share the same views. Then I decided to join smile family because it's not only promoting education at it's own but also supporting other genuine needy NGOs.

This way benefit goes to larger section without wasting resources like time, manpower and money in building up bases in new areas and managing the existing one. I think it's a unique model to reach masses effectively in less time and cost.

"We wanted to do something for the children in need for my father's death anniversary. We found no better way other than supporting a child's education for a year. Moreover, I'm living in France and there is always a call from the motherland. With better living conditions here, I think of doing something, however small it may be, for our country and people. I should not forget that my biggest support in all these matters is my wife (she is a French national) who loves our country and our people as much as I do.

I wish to be (at least visually) anonymous for these ventures. Very glad to be part of Smile community and hope to support your missions in the best possible way we can."
