On a full stomach, Chinnari can smile

Six years old Koppisetty Chinnari is studying in Grade 1 in Sarada Vidyalayam, the free school run by Sankurathri Foundation in rural Andhra Pradesh. She lives with her family of four members in the village of Kothuru, in coastal Andhra Pradesh.  Chinnari is the youngest child in the family and she has one sister. Their father, Musalaiah, is an agricultural laborer who earns about 2$ a day whenever he finds work. His earnings are barely enough to make ends meet.

Chinnari is undernourished because her parents cannot afford to give her a balanced diet at home. Due to this, she finds it difficult to concentrate in class, and often has to miss school because of falling prey to illnesses. With your support, Bellevue Rotary, the Sankurathri Foundation will provide a wholesome and nutritious lunch to Chinnari every day. The food would be cooked with iodized salt, and will give her sufficient nutrients for the entire day. She will also get a glass of milk in the evening.

Thank you,  Bellevue Rotary, for ensuring that Chinnari is healthy and happy, and can concentrate on her studies.
