Thank you for gifting a pair of glasses to Ramana.

Chodisetti Ramana is a 60 year old woman who lives with her youngest son in the village of Thimmapuram in Andhra Pradesh. She is a widow and has 3 sons and 3 daughters. Up to last year she was able to manage her own chores at home and also help her daughter with domestic work. But slowly her vision has dropped since last one year and she found it difficult to manage at home and she felt very depressed.

She needed a pair of corrective glasses, and because of your generosity, Sankurathri Foundation was able to give them to her. She is now very happy, because she has regained her vision and doesn’t have to be dependent on anybody.

Thank you for providing a pair of glasses to Satyanarayana.

Kollu Satyanarayana is 65 years old and lives in the village of Rama Krishna Rao peta in Andhra Pradesh. He works as a farm laborer and earns about $30 per month. He came the eye hospital run by Sankuratri Foundation complaining of poor vision, because of which he was getting frequent headaches. After complete eye examination it was established that he needs spectacles to correct his headache poor vision.

Satyanarayana thanks you for your gift of a pair of glasses. His life is much better thanks to  your generosity.

Thank you for donating two sets of school uniforms to Vimala.

Vimala 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’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. Vandana is, however, enrolled in Grade 8 at Sarada Vidyalayam, the school run by Sankurathri Foundation. Your donation of two sets of uniforms and footwear will ensure that Vimala comes to school daily, and gets a quality education.

Thank you for coming supporting Vimala.

Thank you for providing two sets of uniforms to Priya.

Thirteen years old Priya is studying grade 8 in Sarada Vidyalayam, the free school run by Sankurathri Foundation in rural Andhra Pradesh. She is the second child of a Conductor, Venkata Ramana, whose monthly income of $ 90 is barely enough to make ends meet.

Families such as Priya’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. Jayanti is, however, enrolled in the school.

Due to your generosity, Priya will have two new school uniforms and footwear that she can wear while coming to school every day. Thank you!

This girl is Vijjupareddy Satya, ten years old girl studying grade 4 in Sarada Vidyalayam. She is eldest child of late Subbarao who died in a tractor accident two years ago. She has a mother who earns money by sewing cloths for the neighbors. Because of that work she makes about $20 per month and she struggles very hard to maintain the two small children. She has no other support from other sources.

Thank you for gifting two sets of school uniforms and footwear to Satya. She looks forward to putting on her uniform and coming to school every day. Your generosity has ensured that she is one step closer to a bright future.

Thank you for coming together to provide a year of tuition to Abhilam.

Guthurthi Abhilam is six years old boy studying class 1 at Sarada Vidyalayam, the school run by Sankurathri Foundation in Andhra Pradesh. His Father Satyanarayana is a mason and earns about $ 40 per month when he can find the work. Besides his father he has another sister and mother living the same house. Abhilam’s father can not find work every day and he doesn’t have any savings for a rainy day.

In families such as his, education is never a priority, and children are put to work early, so they can supplement the family income.

Abhilam, however, is enrolled in Sarada Vidyalayam, where he is given a chance to complete his education without any financial burden to their parents.

Thank you for coming together to provide an an entire year of education to Abhilam. The future looks bright for him.

Thank you for providing two sets of school uniforms to Gurunadham.

Eight years old Batchu Gurunadham is the firsh child of Rambabu who works as Sanitary worker in the village Kothuru which is located in the outskirts of coastal Andhra Pradesh. He is studying Grade 2 in Sarada Vidyalayam, the school run by Sankurathri Foundation. His father earns around $2 per day. Since he doesn’t have work everyday his income is not assured.

Like most other children from families such as his, Sriram is undernourished and underweight. Due to your generosity, he will get a healthy lunch and a glass of milk every day. This keeps him healthy and alert.

Thank you for your generosity.

Thank you for donating a pair of glasses to Ruthala Kondamma.
Kondammais 65 years old and lives in the village of Pithapuram in Andhra Pradesh. She works as a daily laborer, and makes $ 1.5 per day on days when she finds work. On this money, she supports her ailing husband and herself. She is the sole bread winner for the family, because though she has two daughters, neither lives with her.

For the last year, Kondamma has been complaining of failing vision, and finally she reached a stage where she could not go to work. At that point she came to the hospital run by Sankuratri Foundation, where she was diagnosed with eye problem which can be corrected by a pair of glasses. She, however, could not afford the price of the corrective glasses. Thanks to your donation of a pair of glasses, she is can go back to work, and is very happy.

Satyanarayana is now 75 years old, and his wife died fifteen years ago. Since then he has been living with his eldest son in the village of Sambamurthinagar. He also has another son and two daughters. Ever since he moved to his son’s place, Satyanarayana has worked as a day laborer, earning about $30 per month. However, since last year he hasn’t been able to see well because of cataracts in both eyes. When he attended the Sankurathri Foundation’s eye camp, he received free cataract surgery because of his poverty. After the surgery, he also needed spectacles, which the Foundation has provided him free thanks to your donation.

Thank you Susan for helping Satyanarayana see better! He is much happier now.
