Did you ever experience the joy of ‘touching lives’ through your giving deeds? I’m sure this must have given you inner joy, peace, fulfillment and satisfaction. Come and experience the real joy of giving at “Human Touch” and feel assured of personal contact by the beneficiary of your contribution. Human Touch is taking part in India’s largest fundraising event – India Giving Challenge 2010 in which “Joy of Giving Week” is also celebrated
I wish to share with you about “Human Touch” , a NGO which I founded in 2009 to serve young people. I wish to mention that this is purely an effort of young people to contribute to the society with the participation of young people. We invite you to strengthen our hands and help us to touch more and more human lives through our work.
· Do you know that 50% of the new HIV infection is in the age group of 15-24? Human Touch is trying to protect our young people through information and education. Can you help us to reach out to more and more young people?
· Do you know that as a result of HIV epidemic, there are grandmothers taking care of grand orphans who are either living or affected by HIV? It’s a real burden for these ‘grandmas’ to care for them at this age. Can you help 30 such households identified by Human Touch?
· With the epidemic in young people, one will find a large number of young widows in the age group of 20-28 years, coping with HIV infection, loss of spouse and HIV positive children? Can you help around 30 such widows who really deserve to be aided?
· You will agree with me that education in IT sector is really very important to make a career. Human Touch wishes to impart IT education to 20 young people from underprivileged background. Could you consider support this?

The India Giving Challenge is a competition to see which NGO can raise the most funds. What’s the prize if we win? Our NGO will receive additional matching funds and the impact of our effort will be multiplied.
You will be taken to the GiveIndia site where we have set up an iGive page to accept donations. The site is secure and you can make a donation using credit card, cheque or direct debit from your bank account (for customers of certain banks). All donations are tax deductible and you will receive an e-receipt which you can use for tax purposes.
In addition to making a donation, you can do more by sharing this email by introducing us personally and our iGive page link with your friends and family and ask them to help us too. You can further post our link on your Facebook and Orkut profile too. Remember, the challenge ends on 15th October 2010
