Gift of education for Praveen!

Udigala Praveen,M,8,2nd
Dear Laurent, UBS, and Daniel,

Eight year old, Praveen, is the oldest of four children. The family lives in th village of Penumarthi, in coastal Andhra Pradesh. His father, Raghava, is an agricultural laborer and earns a meager sum of $100 a month,to support his family.

With this sum, he can’t afford to pay for the school fee or any other additional expenses of his children. Sankurathri Foundation provides free education to Praveen and he is currently studying in the 2nd grade at Sarada Vidyalayam, a school run by Sankurathi.

Under such difficult circumstances, education is never a priority for parents and they believe that sending a child to school will at least ensure a supplementary income.

Thus there are many children in the rural areas who drop out of school and work to support their needs. Sarada Vidyalayam, helps children to complete their education without any financial burden to their parents.

The school maintains a very strict curriculum and provides quality education. By imparting discipline and values, they groom children to become responsible citizens.

PraveenĀ  is a very active and bright student. He is a punctual and regular student. Your generous donations, Laurent (x4), UBS (x3) and Daniel (x5) will ensure that Praveen gets to attend another year of school at Sarada Vidyalayam.

Thank you all, for this very thoughtful gift of education for Praveen which comes as a big relief to his parents. Your support is much appreciated!
