The Children
All the children we help in the project are from lower caste families and as such have little or no chance of building a better life for themselves. Many do not attend school as their families cannot afford it. Instead they help to earn money for food.
All the children we now have sponsored are performing very well in school. They are driven to do well as they realise that they have been blessed with a very special opportunity.
Meet Anil
(photo on the right)
Name: Anil
Address: Near Katmandu, Nepal
Age: 7 years old.
Current Education: No previous schooling.
Details: Anil is the second son of Sunita and Raju. He has one older brother Sunil. His parents have not sent him to school yet because they can’t afford it. They are homeless and own no land. They live in a small room which they rent, where all four family members stay and cook. His father, Raju often falls sick, and is physically weak. He tries to get work on a daily basis as a porter. Sometimes he gets work and sometimes not. His mother sometimes gets work washing the clothes and dishes of the neighbours.
Current situation: Anil is now sponsored by Terry Maycock, Nick's father. He is performing well in school, and is often top of the class. Terry gets annual reports from the school along with drawings and letters from Anil.
