Vimala receives quality education

Pothula Vimaladevi, 14, 8th
Dear Leslie, Ted and Pam, David, Lee, Peggy, Jim, John, JILL, Luke and Ani, Lowry, Dwayne and Terese, and Peter and Kim,

Pothula Vimala Devi is the first child of an agricultural labourer in rural Andhra Pradesh. Her father, Sathibabu earns 80$ a  month barely able to support his family’s basic necessities.

Families such as Vimala Devi’s do not believe in education, much less education
for the girl child, so a girl like her would normally not have been going to school at all. Vimala Devi is, however, enrolled in Grade 8 at Sarada Vidyalayam, the school run by Sankurathri Foundation. Your donation, Leslie, Ted and Pam, David, Lee, Peggy, Jim, John, Jill, Luke and Ani, Lowry, Dwayne and Terese, and Peter and Kim, will ensure that her tuition is paid for a year and she can receive quality education.

Thank you, Leslie, Ted and Pam, David, Lee, Peggy, Jim, John, Jill, Luke and Ani, Lowry, Dwayne and Terese, and Peter and Kim, for coming together to give Vimala Devi the opportunity to get a good education.
