Dear Sir/Madam,
Warm greetings and best wishes for the New Year 2024!
I trust this letter finds you well. My name is Sudip Chakma, and I am honored to represent the Ultimate Truth Preaching Mission, a registered Buddhist organization that established the Mahabodhi Residential School in 2016. As we embark on a new year, we reach out to you with a heartfelt plea for financial support to construct a permanent school hall, a crucial need for the 267 students currently enrolled in this academic session.
About Mahabodhi Residential School:
Our school, nestled in Tuichawng and dedicated to serving the indigenous Chakma children of Lunglei District, Mizoram, India, was founded with a commitment to providing general education along with holistic Buddhist teachings. Despite being a small organization with limited funds, we have managed to keep the school operational primarily through parents' contributions.
The Current Challenge:
Our main predicament lies in the inadequacy of our existing school hall. Currently built with makeshift materials like jungle woods and tin roofing, it is deteriorating rapidly. This not only jeopardizes the safety of our students but also impedes their ability to engage in essential practices such as meditation and devotion.
Importance of a Permanent School Hall:
A dedicated school hall is not merely a physical structure; it is a sanctuary for learning, meditation, and cultural development. Here's why a proper school hall is crucial:
1. Holistic Education: A permanent hall provides a conducive environment for both academic learning and the practice of meditation and devotion, fostering a well-rounded education.
2. Cultural Preservation: It serves as a space for cultural activities, ensuring the preservation of our rich heritage among the indigenous Chakma children.
3. Community Building: The hall becomes a hub for community gatherings, strengthening the bond between students, parents, and the wider community.
Estimated Budget Breakdown (Rupees 36 Lakhs):
1. Foundation and Structure: 15 Lakhs
2. Roofing and Flooring: 8 Lakhs
3. Walls and Windows: 5 Lakhs
4. Electrical and Plumbing: 3 Lakhs
5. Meditation and Devotion Space Setup:. 5 Lakhs
Your Support Matters:
We understand the significant financial commitment we are seeking, but we believe in the transformative power of education. Your support will not only help build a physical structure but will also create an environment that nurtures the minds and spirits of these underprivileged students.
We kindly request your generous contribution to make our vision of a permanent school hall a reality. Your support will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of these young minds and the community they represent.
For further information or to discuss this initiative in more detail, please contact us at our email. We sincerely appreciate your time, consideration, and potential partnership in this noble endeavor.
Thank you for being a beacon of hope in the lives of those who seek knowledge and enlightenment.
Warm regards & Lots of Metta,
