Tatabbai can return to work

Malli Tatabbai
Dear Balamurugan,

Tatabbai is a 70 year-old farmer living in the village of Valasapakala, Andhra Pradesh, India. Tatabbai and his wife have two sons that are married and live with their families. The farmer and his spouse live below the poverty line due to his $40 in monthly earnings. To add to their obstacles, he lost his vision.

Tatabbai traveled to the Sankurathri Foundation’s eye screening camp for an eye examination. They diagnosed his problem as a refractive error and suggested he buy a pair of spectacles. As he can’t afford to purchase spectacles based on his economic condition, the Sankurathri Foundation provided him with a pair of glasses. Due to your generosity, Balamurugan, Tatabbai received the spectacles free of charge.

Tatabbai can now see very well during his work — he wants to convey his heartfelt thanks!
