Dear Laurent, Janet, AMY, Kelly, George, Susan and James, Shiva, Ernie, and Hiu man,

Thank you for coming together to support, Green (yes, that is his name).

Green Chandar studies in grade two in a school run by Isha Vidhya in Tamil Nadu. His father works as a laborer in a rice mill, and his mother is a housewife. The monthly family income is Rs 2,500 (approximately $ 55) which is barely sufficient to meet the needs of the family.

Normally, a boy like Green would be put to work as a child laborer, so he could supplement the family income. Luckily, Isha Vidhya managed to convince his family that educating their child would pay off in the long run. Green is a bright student, and is particularly fond of mathematics. He is also interested in sports, specially sprinting and running.

Your donations, Laurent, Janet (x2), Amy (x2), Kelly (x2), George (x 4) and Susan and James, will ensure that an entire year of tuition is taken care of.

Your donation, Shiva, will ensure that Green is given two sets of school uniforms which he can wear when he comes to school.

Your donation, Hiu Man, will ensure that Green is provided transportation to come to school for an entire year- this gift is invaluable, because he will now not have to miss school because there is nobody around to drop him off and pick him up.

Your donation, Ernie, will ensure that Green is provided with a nutritious school lunch for an entire year. This is often the only wholesome meal he gets in the whole day, and he and his family are both thankful to you for it.

Thank you for coming together to help Green go to school.
