Sathish is an avid reader!

Eight year old, Sathish,  studies in grade 3, in a school run by Isha Vidhya in Tamil Nadu. His father is an unskilled agricultural laborer who works for daily wages. If he is lucky enough to find work every day, he earns about Rs.2500 ($ 56) per month, which is barely sufficient to meet the needs of the five member family. However, most of the time, the father finds it difficult to find work, and the family often goes without proper food for days of end.

Sathish, consequently, is almost always on a hungry stomach which  makes it difficult for him to concentrate on his work. Your donations,Laurent (x3) and UBS will enable Isha Vidhya to provide a hot, nutritious meal to Sathish every day, for an entire year. This will not only ensure that the boy doesn’t have to starve if his father doesn’t find work, it also ensures that his family sends him to school regularly.

Sathish’s family lives in a small hut in a village near Vizhupuram. Public transportation is virtually non-existent in the area, making it almost impossible for his parents to send him to school. Isha Vidhya, therefore, provides transportation to get Sathish to school.

Your generous donations, Laurent (x3) and UBS, will enable Isha Vidhya to provide a year of transportation for Sathish, thereby ensuring that he attends school everyday. He loves attending school and is an avid reader.

Thank you all, for ensuring that Sathish’s stomach is full, and he is able to attend school.
