Sunny And Gopi Want To Head Back To School And Need Your Support

Dear Supporters,

Apologies for not keeping you posted for last couple of weeks.

I had an opportunity to visit Sunny and Gopi's parents today. I wanted to do this to understand their wishes and how best your support can be used to help these families. It was encouraging to hear Gopi's mother and Sunny's father both wanted their children to study, in fact, Sunny's younger siblings are attending a local government school. "It's only out of compulsion that I've to send Gopi for work, unless his father and Gopi bring some money, I can't light the stove for meals", says Gopi's mother. "Even if I wish I cannot afford the cost of schooling", says Sunny's father. For both the families, it's difficult to sustain if their kids do not earn and even bear the cost of their schooling.

While familiarising with Gopi & Sunny, I befriended 6 other kids, who live in the same slum and share a similar story like both of them.
To bring these kids back into the fold of school, it is perhaps important to replace there earning with some monthly support and help them with tutoring support to make school ready.

I am making efforts to see if a bank account can be opened for these kids to transfer money every month to meet their needs while they study with help of a tutor. This requires expanded support. Please help to spread a word about the campaign and also suggest what you think would be more effective to help these bright young kids.

Sharing a picture that I clicked with them, hope you will enjoy meeting them virtually.

Thank You.
