Hullo Everybody,I , Usha Iyengar, am writing to you about one of our students
Vijay Keerthi who is a student<BR>of Atomic Energy Central School Mysore
studying in Class/Grade VI. He is a brilliant chess <BR>player and a bright
student, a real asset to the school. He has consistently scored an <BR>A*
(90%and above) in all his year end exams so far. He is the son of Mr.
Krishnamurthy, <BR>a Tradesman (Scientific) at the Rare Material Plant of the
Dept of Atomic Energy here
at <BR>Mysore, with a monthly income of around Rs. 6000/-</DIV>
<DIV>Vijay Keerthi has shown  great promise in the game of chess as the
records(attached) will show. <BR>He plays for Karnataka State and for the AEC
School. But it involves a lot of expense (list <BR>attached) just to play at
the State level
not to mention the others.<BR> <BR>The state funds allotted for chess do not
reach the boy obviously due to corruption. The school<BR>foots the travel
bills for Vijay Keerti only, not the guardian. Friends and well wishers have
<BR>helped the
boy whenever needed so far.<BR> <BR>His parents have done their best and
utmost to help him progress in the game. He has to partici-<BR>pate in many
tournaments to gain experience in the strategies and intricacies of the game.
He is<BR>not
able to enter some tournaments due to lack of funds.</DIV>
<DIV>   You could help by making a small contribution.<BR>   He needs your
help in the following areas:<BR>   1. Funds ie.Rs 50,000 to buy a Laptop
computer(with 124MB RAM) to use at the tournaments as
<BR>        his second. <BR>   2. Funds to buy a chess clock costing around
Rs. 3500/-<BR>   3. Someone to sponsor his expenses for any State or National
level
tournament.<BR>   4.  Someone to sponsor the expenses for the summer coaching
camp eg: The Woodricke Internat-<BR>        ional Chess Coaching Camp
conducted by Russian grandmasters at Calcutta or
other cities. <BR>        That would cost Rs.5000- 6000.<BR>   <BR>All this is
needed for a couple more years till he reaches a National Level No: 1 or Asian
Level<BR>No: 1. Then any company ie PSU's
& MNC's will take care of his entire expenses.</DIV>
<DIV>You can send  your cheques to him directly under the name Vijay
Keerti(with a copy to me about the amount on the email for my information) as
he has a bank account No: 13033  at State bank Of India , Kuvempunagar ,
Mysore, India. His
address is </DIV>
<DIV>Master Vijay Keerti,<BR>S/O A. Krishnamurthy<BR>No: 1,  N
Block,<BR>Adichunchungiri Road,<BR>Kuvempunagar, <BR>Mysore -
570023<BR>India</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You  can write to me for any further clarifications or make any
suggestions about how best I <BR>go about helping him. Vijay Keerti will
personally reply & thank you.  </DIV>
