Varshini receives healthy lunches and a wonderful education

Varshini is in the second grade at Sarada Vidyalayam, a school run by the Sankurathri Foundation. Her father earns a salary of $45 per month. Varshini has also one younger brother. The entire family live in the village of Penumarthi, which is located in Andhra Pradesh, India. Varshini’s father has to provide for his entire family as well as his sick mother, which costs lot of money because of medication prices.

Under such circumstances education becomes a low priority. Sending Varshini to work would allow her to make some money to supplement the family income. Children rarely get paid enough to support themselves, let alone their family. Sankurathri is an organization in rural India that works to prevent cases like this.

Sankurathi provides much more than an education for their students. Varshini’s parents have no financial burden from her schooling because the organization funds her uniforms, books, and more. However, Sankurathri could not have provided this for Varshini without all of your support.

Through your combined efforts Laura, Jami, Yasunori, Ryan, Brent, Ashley, and Jerri, the Sankurathri Foundation can provide Varshini with a year of nutritious meals at school. Thank you for your kindness.
