On a full stomach, Durga Bhavani can study well

Bonthu Durga Bhavani,F,10,4th
Dear Ravi, Nyree, Matthew, Denise, Craig, Lesley, William, George, and Greg and Monica,

Ten year old Durga Bhavani, is the oldest of two children. Her father, Rambabu, works as a kitchen helper and barely earns enough to support the needs of his two children and wife. The family lives in thevillageofPenumarthi, in coastal Andhra Pradesh.

Durga Bhavani is studying in grade 4 in Sarada Vidyalayam and is a very chirpy and bright student. Like most children in rural areas, Durga Bhavani was also malnourished and survived for days on end on an empty stomach. With their father being a poor kitchen helper, Sankurathri Foundation provides free education to Durga Bhavani and her brother.

Your generous donations, Ravi, Nyree, Matthew, Denise, Craig, Lesley (x3), William, George and Greg and Monica (x2), have made it possible for Sankurathri Foundation to provide free school lunches and a  mid-morning glass of milk to Durga Bhavani for an entire year. She will be able to perform well in her studies and will also become active.

Your support comes as a big change to Durga Bhavani’s parents who can’t thank you enough, for this kind gesture.

Thank you, all for making Durga Bhavani can study well.
