Ajay’s can tackle the challenge of grade 3, without worrying about anything else

Dear Kandace, Craig, David, Lee, Sarah, Pradeep, Peter, Michael, Kate, Bill, Bill, and Greg,

Ajay is 9 years old and comes from a Musahar Ghetto in a village called Khhori in Bihar, India. Both his parents are illiterate and landless agricultural laborers. They get seasonal employment and live much below the poverty line. His prematurely aging parents can hardly afford a decent life for themselves and their six children. Ajay was admitted to the free English medium school run by Shoshit Seva Sangh in December 2007.

During the last academic year, thanks to the previous support from donors on SeeYourImpact, Ajay’s tuition and clothing and care was sponsored for a full year.

Last year, in grade 2, Ajay secured an over all 57.6%, and scored 64/100 in English, 59/100 in Hindi, 60/100 in Maths, 66/100 in Science and 71/100 in Social Studies, in the final annual examinations. He has now been promoted to grade 3. Though the formal academic year in India begins only in June, Shoshit Seva Sangh keeps the school running throughout the year, because the boys do not have a congenial family environment to go back to for the holidays.

Your donation of a month of tuition each, Kandace (x 2), Craig, David, Lee, Sarah, Pradeep, Peter, Michael, Kate and Bill (x 2), will enable Ajay to continue his studies in grade 3.

Your donation, Greg, will enable SSS to provide sufficient clothing and comprehensive medical care to Ajay for an entire year.

Thank you all for coming together and supporting Ajay’s education for an entire year. It takes him one step closer to his goal of moving himself, his family and ultimately his community out of acute poverty.
