Pavan – future teacher!

Ten year old Pavan is one of six children in her family- four girls and two boys. Her father works as a caddy at the nearby golf course in Pune and her mother stays at home to look after the huge family. Since her father’s income depends entirely on whether or not he is able to find work, the family is often forced to go hungry.

Her future plan of becoming a teacher is not an unexpected career goal, as she does very well in school and even says herself that her favorite part about school is studying!

Pavan is able to do so well in school in part because of the daily nutritional support that she receives from AIC’s Education Centre. There she receives hot, nutritious meals on a daily basis, as well as healthy afternoon snacks during her after-school tutoring to ensure that she is able to concentrate on her homework without the distraction of a growling stomach!

Thank you so much, Ariel, Binny, Niranjan, Jamie, Donald, Laurent, Guisolan, Julius (x3), Dennis and Bill, for helping Pavan continue to excel in school and receive nutritious meals so that she will one day be able to achieve her dream of becoming a teacher.

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