“An infinitesimal effort can cause large impact”. The small effort of donors and volunteers is reflected through the academic success stories of our students. Here is a glimpse of how you have touched several lives.
Pavithra, Grade 12: Hailing from a remote village in Vellore district of Tamil Nadu, Pavithra joined our online ESL classes when she was in sixth grade. Her command over the English language has tremendously improved over these years. In grade 10, she scored a total of 420 marks, making her one of the highest scorers in the state of Tamil Nadu. She says “the online classes have helped improve my communication skills, confidence and knowledge”. She is a true shining star, now working hard to secure a good rank in her grade 12 exams as well.
Eshwari, Grade 7: Earlier, she had to travel a long distance from a remote village in Krishnagiri district to the IELC school. Now the hostel facilities on the campus provide a safe environment for this low vision student. She mentions “Initially I was very shy to speak in English, now online classes have helped me to communicate without fear”.
We are boosting their confidence to dream, to achieve higher goals, to face any challenge in life. On learning about how a visually impaired candidate recently cracked civil service exam in India, our student Bhoopathy of grade aspires to become an IAS (Indian Admiinistrative Services) officer. His classmate Aarti dreams of pursuing a career in music.
Your little light of hope as donations and volunteering shines through their smile. :)
The next academic session starts from June 2017, we look forward to sharing many success stories.
