Thank you for your support. Your contribution helps many children, a story of one.
When 8-year-old Radhika Deshar's father passed away due to kidney failure, her family was left in destitute. The family had spent significant money on his treatment. Like most families in rural Nepal, her mother was a housewife. Despite some local efforts to support the family, economic circumstances forced one of her older sisters to leave school to work at a garment factory. However, Radhika goes to school. She studies for free at Jyotidaya School in Nepal, a Sarvodaya-supported community-run school. Through Jyotidaya School, Radhika and several other children from poor and underprivileged families receive quality education. About 280 students study at Jyotidaya, while most pay affordable fees, one out of 8 children studies for free.
On behalf of everyone you have touched through your generosity, we wish you a wonderful 2011. May be you filled with peace, love, and happiness.
Happy New Year!
