Both Sabina and Saugat have moved up to the next grade–she to grade 3 and he to 4.
At the time their sponsorship started in December 2013, the adjusted contribution to their education covered the costs of their uniform, tie, belt etc. as well as supplies for the rest of the academic year (of 2013-14). Since their uniforms, for instance, don’t need replacing, the funds needed this academic year is considerably less.
Attached below is the letter from the Principal with those details and its translation.
The letter reads…
