Dear Sponsors, September, 2018

Once again please accept greetings from India. You are surprised to see this letter now. Our founder Mr. Rudolf Schwartz felt that we must communicate with our sponsors at least three times in a year. Hence we started a new edition in the month of September, besides December and April.

This year we had a very good admission in all three institutes run by ISEAF. Placement of all successful students, improvement of standard by using modern gadgets like smart class, placement by corporates helped a lot and made our institutes popular. We had to open new divisions and to appoint additional staff to accommodate all the students.

Mr. Pravin Sabnis conducted a workshop for the students of all three institutes to inculcate confidence in them.

This year also some sponsors came to visit their students. Our office arranged the meetings of sponsors and students as in the past. In case any of our sponsors wants to meet their students during their visit to India our office will make all the arrangements.

Our Home Nursing Bureau became very popular and nurses from other organizations also join in our bureau as we provide better pay and job opportunities. Total strength of nurses working for our bureau has become 350.

We are very grateful to all our sponsors for your support and encouragement. Without your support we could not function like this.

Please find enclosed herewith some successful stories of students who completed their education in our technical institutes & presently working. We also enclosed the stories of some students who completed their education with the scholarship you provided and are presently working.

With lots of love and regards

Yours Sincerely

Jacob Mathew
