• The CWEF is committed to the enhancement of
  the educational opportunities for the needy
  children. Its assistance program is divided into
  3 chapters, Indian, Canadian, and Kenyan.

21

• As regards the Indian Chapter, in the year
  2006-07 our organization will assist 400 mothers
  and their 500 children studying in 24
  institutions in 8 states of India.
• We are very thankful to the headmasters,
  principals, and teachers of these schools and
  colleges for their volunteer work in assisting us
  in different ways.

22

• The Canadian Chapter has made a breakthrough
  in this academic year by purchasing leveled
  reading textbooks worth 2000 for General Brock
  Elementary School children. Another school has
  also expressed interest in receiving our donation
  of books.

23

• The Kenyan Chapter is now organized, and has
  launched its project of educationally helping
  children affected by AIDS in some way, which is
  the main concern of this Chapter. A few schools
  are identified and their Principals have been
  contacted. An amount of 1000 has been sent to
  Kalaniketan Shishukunj, a childrens organization
  in Nairobi. It is felt that 100 will be
  sufficient to provide books and uniforms for one
  child for a school year.
