Dear Friends

I am sure you will have noticed the changed look of our quarterly newsletter. We decided to make this change considering the galloping speed that Smile Foundation is moving ahead with. As every new day begins, new developments be it partnerships, projects, achievements or infrastructure, are taking place. Our television campaign Choone Do Aasman has won the Asia Pacific Child Rights Award 2010 and the INB Award 2010. I am Kalam – the feature film produced by us has won the Lucas Award and the Don Quijote Prize for the best feature film.

With these prestigious awards we have been able to take ourselves to platforms where other development organizations have never reached; we are reaching out to more number of beneficiaries; we are nurturing our human capital with continuous training programmes; and last but not the least we are doing things more innovatively. And with the objective of bringing them all to you in an interesting manner, we decided to give you what you are now holding in your hands.

Hoping that this development will be appreciated by all of you, on behalf of Smile Foundation, I assure you this will become better with every next issue. I also request you to share with us your feedback regarding this new look and configuration.

Warm Regards

Harish Nandan Sahay
Director Operations
