Hello There!
The IndoRelief Team would like to extend a huge Thank You! to all who donated to our winter fundraiser this past November and December! Because of your help and support, our winter volunteer trip was a great success! Our ten volunteers, together with our local partners were able to see over 400 patients! We provided medical and dental check-ups as well as distributed vitamins and dental hygiene kits to residents throughout Faridabad. If you click "Thank You" above, you will be directed to our Winter Newsletter, which contains some photos of our volunteers in the community, aiding in these efforts.
In the newsletter, you will also find an introduction to our next fundraiser with RefuRelief. We are excited to partner with the 26 Letters School, at a network of schools started in Lebanon to aid refugee children and children in conflict areas access critical education.
What are the 26 Letters Schools?
"The 26 Letters schools are more than a project, they are an aim, an impulse, an idea. Our aim? To change the reality of children bound by their economic situation. Our impulse? To improve their education level as a way of empowerment. Our idea? To sum all these purposes in one incredible gift: the creation of a school specific to these children in need.
Founded by students and workers from throughout the world, 26 Letters is a network of small schools that aim to give children access to basic education, thus developing their intellect as a means to open the borders of their social, educational, professional, and personal possibilities."
Please take a few minutes to look over our newsletter and stay tuned for more information about our next campaign for the 26 Letters School. We are so grateful for you continued support and interest in these initiatives- we could not endeavor any of these efforts without you!

Hi everyone!
June was an incredibly busy month for us at IndoRelief. Because of your contributions, we provided medical care to 83 people living in the underserved areas of India and held two health camps. We also launched our newest project RefuRelief! RefuRelief is an initiative to provide aid to refugees across Europe and the Middle East. You can learn more about RefuRelief at www.refurelief.org. Thank you for your continued support! Without you, IndoRelief wouldn't exist. Stay tuned for more updates in our upcoming summer newsletter!
Thank you,
The IndoRelief Team
We are planning to hold a prenatal health camp to provide prenatal vitamins and assess health among the pregnant women in the nearby communities. We want to pay extra attention to this population, as they are often neglected in India. With your help we can help give birth to healthy babies, preventing diseases like spina bifida. Together, we can make a difference! To donate, visit our website at www.indorelief.org. For only $20, a woman receives all prenatal care for her entire term.
Thank you to everyone who donated! Because of you, we were able to provide dental care to 55 boys and girls. Each child received tartar cleaning, toothbrushes, floss, toothpaste, and dental health education. A healthy mouth is correlated with a longer life and better health. Thank you for helping make this happen!
Hi everyone,
We will be holding another dental health camp soon and are now accepting donations. For $10, a child will receive teeth examination, tartar removal, dental hygiene supplies, and any extra services required. Visit www.indorelief.org and click the donate button to help! Together, we can truly make a difference!
If you have any questions, please contact us at contact@indorelief.org.

Hi Everyone!
It's been an incredibly busy last few months. In addition to holding more health camps, we've also expanded our presence in India, covering more cities and lower income areas. Because of you, the number of patients we've helped has exceeded 700! We could not have dreamed of this without your unending generosity!
The boys of the New Beginnings Clinic also started school last week! From child laborers to scholars, they are on their way to achieving their dreams. We will continue to support them in any way they see fit, whether trying musical instruments or providing tutoring services.
We've also made a few changes to our website to allow for easier access to donation buttons, as well as more concise descriptions of our projects. Health camp information will now be posted to our blog exclusively. Stay tuned for more updates!
Sincerely,
The IndoRelief Team
Happy New Year!
The folks at IndoRelief wanted to thank you for a wonderful year! With your help, we have provided free medical treatments to 571 people living in Indian slums.
This was a landmark year for us, full of many accomplishments. Of these, opening the New Beginnings Clinic was perhaps our biggest. Currently, we have 7 former child laborers living in the clinic. Our holiday fundraiser this year was dedicated to funding this orphanage. We also held our first turkey run, where friends and family came out and supported us. Included is our Holiday Newsletter, which provides more details about our holiday fundraiser and our turkey run.
Thank you for your support this past year and continued help in 2016. Happy New Year!
Sincerely,
The Team at IndoRelief
