Previous Remarks:
2007 July - December: The project was terminated from November 2007.

2007 January - June: Student is from a needy family. However, according to mother’s letter most of his scholarship is used for a three-wheeler as Dhanushka has to walk about 1 mile to school. This raise concerns about proper utilization of funds. Furthermore, he has not attended school 19 days during last 6 months. If donor agrees, committee is willing to terminate the project from December 2007. Since we did not receive a recently updated bank book copy, February to June payments does not reflect. However these payments were made.
