Though an orphan, Manoj is determined to do well in life

Shoshit Seva Sangh is an organization working in Bihar, India that strives to help impoverished children by providing education, clothing, and medical care. Thank you for supporting their cause by donating clothing and care for a full year. Here is Manoj’s story, a recipient of Shoshit Seva Sangh’s work.

Seventeen year old Manoj lost both his parents a few years back. Since then, he and his sister, Nirmal, have been brought up by their grandfather who is a landless laborer. Because of his old age, their grandfather struggles to find work, and the family barely has enough food to keep the hunger pangs at bay. Since their grandfather is very old, Manoj has always been conscious of the fact that looking after his sister would eventually be his responsibility and he despaired of ever finding a job that would ensure a sustainable livelihood.The future looked very bleak for Manoj until he got admission into the free English medium school run by Shoshit Seva Sangh. Manoj is now in Grade 6, and his grades have been consistently high in the five years that he has been in the school. He does particularly well in Maths and Science, and hopes to become an engineer. Even a few years back, nobody in his extended family (or even his community) would have even dared dream of engineering as a viable career option, but Manoj is confident of making his dream a reality.

For the last two years, his tuition and clothing and medical care has been supported by SeeYourImpact supporters, and because of your generosity, he will be able to attend school for one more year. Thank you.
