Children who have attended and completed high school are in a position to get sustainable employment in areas such as government, administration and the like.  Through these jobs they will be provided with enough income to not only support themselves but also have the opportunity to move their whole family out of the slum.</div> <bR> <div> Funding is provided by donors on a year to year basis, with no specific ongoing commitment required. <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#009933" FACE="Trebuchet MS" ><B>The cost of sponsoring a child is Tk. 13 300 ($190 AUS) per year.</B></FONT> 100% of this money goes towards the cost of education with no administration fees either in Bangladesh or the country in which you make the payment.</div> <bR> <div> Payment is easy and can be made from anywhere in the world by cheque, bank transfer, credit card or paypal. </div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>What Do You Receive?</B></div> <div> As a child's sponsor you will receive information about your child's background and updates on their educational progress. If you wish, you will also be able to directly contact your child or the coordinator of the project in Bangladesh.</div> <bR> <div> If you are interested in sponsoring a child and or would like more information contact: </div> <bR> <div> <B>Tipu Sultan (SUF Deptuy Director)</B></div> <div> <A HREF="mailto:suf.chhinno@gmail.com" TARGET="_top" TITLE="mailto:suf.chhinno@gmail.com"><U><U>suf.chhinno@gmail.com</U></U></A><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#009933" FACE="Trebuchet MS" > </FONT></div> <bR> <div> <B>Joanna Noesgaard (Australian SUF Volunteer)</B></div> <div> <A HREF="mailto:joanna.noesgaard@hotmail.com" TARGET="_top" TITLE="mailto:joanna.noesgaard@hotmail.com"><U><U>joanna.noesgaard@hotmail.com</U></U></A></div> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Trebuchet MS" ><B>Read</B></FONT><B> </B><A HREF="id26.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Children helped by Sponsors"><U><B>stories from children</B></U></A><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#BF0000" FACE="Trebuchet MS" ><B> </B></FONT><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Trebuchet MS" ><B>on the sponsorship program</B></FONT></div> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
