Thank you for enabling Harikrishnan to get a good education.

Harikrishanan studies in grade two in a school run by Isha Vidhya in Tamil Nadu. His father is a farmer and his mother is a housewife.

Children from Harikrishnan’s background are not encouraged to go to school. They are put to work as soon as they are able, and even if they are too young to work, they are kept at home to avoid unnecessary expenses. Your generosity, Gauri and PV will provide Harikrishnan with school supplies, and tuition fees for an entire year, and enable him to go to school at a school run by Isha Vidhya in Tamil Nadu.

The financial situation of the family is such that Harikrishanan barely gets to eat one proper meal in a day. The meals that he is fed are lacking in essential nutrients, because of which he is undernourished. Your donations,, of three months of school lunches each, will ensure that Harikrishanan is fed one wholesome meal a day in school everyday for an entire school year. Proper nutrition will also ensure that he is less susceptible to illnesses, and can concentrate better on his studies.

Harikrishanan has to travel a long distance to get to school (and back) from his village. On days when none of his family members is able to drop him off at school, he used to end up missing school. Your donation will ensure that he is able to get to school (and back) every day without having to be dependent on anybody.

Harikrishanan is fluent in English and bright in studies. Your support will go a long way in keeping Harikrishanan healthy and in ensuring that he gets a good education. Thank you for your generosity.

S. Sukadev studies in a school run by Isha Vidhya in Tamil Nadu. His father is a daily laborer in a hotel and his mother is a housewife. The father earns 60 $ / Rupees 3000 a month, barely able to make ends meet. The entire family stays in a small hut. Every time a person falls ill, the entire savings of the family get depleted and the family ends up going without food for several days. Sukadev loves drawing and enjoys sports.

The financial situation of the family is such that Sukadev barely gets to eat one proper meal in a day. The meals that he is fed are lacking in essential nutrients, because of which he is undernourished. Your donations, Seema, Sarah (x2), and Natasha, of three months of school lunches each, will ensure that Sukadev is fed one wholesome meal a day in school everyday for an entire school year. On a full stomach, Sukadev will fall ill less often, and be able to concentrate better on his studies.

Thanks to your generosity, Guy, Hayden, Michael and Molly, Isha Vidhya can provide transportation to bring Sukadev to school. If not for your donation, he would have ended up missing school on most days, because his family would not be able to spare the time to bring him to school, and take him back again.

Thank you, Veena, for gifting an entire year of tuition and school supplies to Sukadev. Due to your generosity, he will get a good education, and can look forward to a bright future.

Thank you, Veena, Seema, Sarah, Natasha, Guy, Hayden, Michael, and Molly, for coming together to make a difference in Sukadev’s life.

Jeevitha studies in grade 2 in a school run by Isha Vidhya in Tamil Nadu. Her father is a farmer, earning Rs.2000 ($ 40) per month, which is barely sufficient to meet the needs of the three member family. Many a times, in cases of medical emergencies, their savings get depleted and the family often goes without proper food for days on end. The family lives in a small hut in a village. Jeevitha loves attending school and excels in singing and drawing.

Jeevitha’s family can barely afford one decent meal in a day, because of which she is severely undernourished. Your donation of a year of school lunches, Janet, will ensure that Jeevitha gets a healthy, well balanced school lunch and a glass of milk every day.  This will help her build up immunity and increase her attention span.

Public transportation is virtually non-existent in the area, making it almost impossible for Jeevitha’s parents to send her to school. Isha Vidhya, therefore, provides transportation to get her to school. Your donation, Max, will enable Isha Vidhya to provide a year of transportation for Jeevitha, thereby ensuring that she attends school everyday.

Thank you, Anita, Anu (x 5), Anna (x 5) and Chandra, for coming together to provide an entire year of tuition for Jeevitha. She is a bright student, and with your support, will do well in life.

Thank you, Rao, for donating two sets of school uniforms to Jeevitha. Living on the edge of poverty as they do, her family cannot afford new clothes for Jeevitha. The school uniforms are the only decent clothes that she has, and she will continue wearing them with pride for many months.

Thank you, Anita, Anu, Anna, Chandra, Rao, Janet, and Max, for ensuring that Jeevitha is able to attend school regularly and has a shot at a bright future.

Eight year old, Periakarasudan,  studies in grade 3 in a school run by Isha Vidhya in Tamil Nadu. His father is physically challenged and works in a shop as an Assistant, earning Rs.2500 ($ 56) per month, which is barely sufficient to meet the needs of the three member family. Many a times, in cases of medical emergencies, their savings get depleted and the family often goes without proper food for days on end.

Periakarasudan, consequently, is highly anemic, and the hunger makes it difficult for him to concentrate on his work. Your donation, Laurent, will enable Isha Vidhya to provide a hot, nutritious meal to Periakarasudan every day, for an entire year. This will not only ensure that the boy doesn’t have to starve, it also ensures that his family sends him to school regularly.

Your generous donation of a set of two school uniforms, Indu, is much appreciated by Periakarasudan. These are the “best clothes” that he possesses, and he wears them every day with pride.

Your generous donations, Anita, Deepa and Indu, will ensure that Periakarasudan’s tuition and study materials for an entire  year is taken care of. He can now attend school without any worries.

Periakarasudan loves attending school and excels in academics and singing. Thank you for coming together to ensure that he gets a good education.

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.

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, 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.
