Sanjay doesn’t go hungry now..

Dear David, Greg and Monica, Akiko, Lee, Kandace, Luke and Ani, Paul, Gillian, Vidya and Fleming,

Nine year old, Sanjay is the second-oldest of five siblings. His parents trade old clothes and cloth and his mother often begs on the streets in the evenings to support the family, earning a combined total of about Rs 2,000 per month ($45).

On weekends when he is not in school, Sanjay’s mother sends him out to beg as well, so that the family can eat. Sanjay now receives breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack at the Ashraya Initiative for Children’s Education Outreach Centre. All of the food served is healthy, fresh and balanced to meet Sanjay’s nutritional needs.

He is especially appreciative of the fact that he now can take a packed lunchbox to school and doesn’t have to face the teasing and embarrassment of going without one. With the nutritional support he receives, Sanjay has been doing extremely well in school, and his teachers predict he will go far!

Thank you so much, David, Greg and Monica, Akiko, Lee, Kandace, Luke and Ani (x2), Paul, Gillain (x2), Vidya and Fleming for helping Sanjay continue to excel in school and receive nutritious meals so that he will one day be able to achieve his dreams.

Thank you all, for coming together in support of Sanjay!
