Dear , Tom, Judd, Matt & Alison, Tim and Sherie, Ron, Thomas, Holly, Chris and Emily, Chris, Paige, and shailendra,

Thank you for coming together to support Subalakshmi for an entire year.

Subalakshmi studies in grade two in a school run by Isha Vidhya in Tamil Nadu. She has two siblings. Her father is a laborer and her mother is mentally ill. A girl from her background would normally never have got an education, but she is enrolled in the free school run by Isha Vidhya near her village, and enjoys going to school.

Subalakshmi loves speaking in English and the rush of confidence that goes with it. For a girl as bright as Subalakshmi, education can open vistas beyond any her family could have dreamt of.

Thank you,  Tom, Judd, Matt & Alison, Tim and Sherie, Ron, Thomas, Holly, Chris and Emily, and Chris for coming together to provide an entire year of tuition for Subalakshmi.

Thank you, Paige, for providing an entire year of school lunches for Subalakshmi. The meal that she gets in school is the only well-balanced meal that she gets in the entire day.

Thank you, Shailendra, for providing an entire year of transportation to Subalakshmi. She lives in a village a considerable distance from where the school is located, and if not for your donation, would not be as regular in school as she is, since her parents may not always be able to drop her off and pick her up.

Thank you for supporting Subalakshmi.
