	Welcome to
	Calcutta Marudyan		(A Charitable Society)

Calcutta Marudyan was started by John Beentjes, his personal family and volunteer co-workers of the Family India. We put up his personal picture so you would know that this society is a real thing and that they live in India and work here. John says: "We came to India in 1997. Since our arrival we have worked the first 7 years in Calcutta, then in Bangalore helping in Tsunami relief work, and now New Delhi area. As volunteers we have dedicated our lives in service to God and fellowman".

In the year 1998 we formed the 'CALCUTTA MARUDYAN' society with active local board-members (Marudyan meaning Oasis in Bengali). We are a small energetic society working at grassroot level with very little overhead.

The main objective of our charity is to bring sponsored education to the children of underprivileged rural and urban families and give sponsored vocational training for older students and adults to improve the standard of living and to alleviate poverty, regardless of religion, caste or ethnic background.

Our project in West Bengal started in 1999 in a rice-shed with 150 children.

It is now in 2010 an educational institute with 567 students.

As long as we are doing what we are supposed to do, us being labeled a success or failure by others doesn’t really

matter.

We opened a new school for BPL (Below Poverty Line) children on July 1st in Gurgaon area. It started with 15 children, now as of August 10 it has reached the 100 children mark. 3 teachers and 3 classes; KG1, KG2 and Class 1

Today, 26/08/10, we chose the new uniforms for the children. They are going to look so cute. They never had new clothes yet. The parents will pay Rs.50/-(less than 1 euro) so they will take care of the uniforms, and we will pay the rest.

Crealy Adventure Park has adopted us as their favourite charity.

The question is not if you will have problems, but how you are going to deal with your problems?

THERE ARE TWO SIDES TO EVERYTHING, LET US LOOK AT THE BRIGHT SIDE Mahatma Ghandi

Let's look up there is only mud under our feet

Don't advertise your troubles - people are already oversupplied

Enthusiasm is the force necessary for climbing the ladder of success

Opportunity is sometimes hard to recognise, because it is usually disguised as hard work.

The more difficult the obstacle, the stronger we become after hurdling it.

Troubles are often tools by which God fashions us for better things.

Great minds discuss ideas - Average minds discuss events - Small minds discuss people.

Two kinds of people that never amount to much are; Those who cannot do what they are told & Those who cannot do anything else.

Friendship doubles your joy and divides your grief

A smile is a light in the window of the soul indicating the heart is at home.

Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up. (Thomas Edison)

The better a man, the more mistakes he will make, for the more new things he will try. (P. Drucker)

Mistakes pave the road to achievement.

A cult is a religion with no political power. — A religion is a cult that succeeded. (T.Wolfe)

Nature gave us two ends: one to sit on and one to think with. Ever since then, man's success has been dependent on the one he used most

When we seek to discover the best in others, we somehow bring out the best in ourselves. (William A. Ward)

"IF IT IS TO BE - IT'S UP TO ME!"

I am the one who chooses how I feel by choosing what I think.

Ninety percent of all those who fail are not actually defeated. They simply quit. (Paul J. Meyer)
