Sanjay doesn’t go hungry now

IMG_0434
Dear Venkat, Justin, Sudha, Thomas, Phillip, Craig, Dwayne and Terese, Howard, George, and Dennis,

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.

Thanks to your generous donations, Venkat, Justin, Sudha, Thomas, Phillip, Craig, Dwayne and Terese, Howard, George and Dennis, 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.

Sanjay is a very good student, and thanks to your generosity, he will go far in life!
