Bhavyasri is assured of good nutrition for an entire year

Siddamtapu Bhavyasri
Dear Adam, Sawan, Francoise, Akhil, Carys, Zachary, Rebecca, Purna, dana, and Microsoft,

Thank you for coming together to support Bhavyasri.

Siddamtapu Bhavyasri is a seven year old girl studying grade two at Sarada Vidyalayam, the school managed by Sankurathri Foundation. She is the older daughter of Apparao, who works as a janitor in the village of Thammavaram. On days when he can find work, Apparao earns about $3 per day, which is barely sufficient to meet the needs of his family.

In the normal course, a girl like Bhavyasri would have been put to work, so the money she earned could supplement the family income. However, because of the incentive of a wholesome mid-day meal, her parents send her to school. Your donations, Sawan, Francoise, Akhil, Carys, Zachary, Rebecca, Purna, dana, and Microsoft, will make it possible for Sankurathri Foundation to provide a well-balanced lunch, and a glass of milk to Bhavyasri everyday, thereby ensuring that she is no longer undernourished or underweight.

Bhavyasri’s family cannot afford to buy new clothes for their children, and it is your donation of a set of two school uniforms, Adam, which will allow her to come to school well dressed and with her head held high.

Thank you for your generosity.
