A Happy Occasion as Jyothi gets married.

Jyothi (a young teenager who has no family) came to Guntur on the recommendation of a local Doctor who was known to Manga Devi and asked whether she could stay at one of the cottages where she would be safe. Uninterested in studying, she was given a small job in the school hostel.

Fortunately a young groom was found, and an arranged marriage between Jyoti and Bhagya Rao, (a construction worker, who can earn Rs 120 per day) took place. They are now living in the groom’s house and with a bit luck he can become a mason and earn some more.

It was a very kind gesture on behalf of Manga Devi, Jaya Sri, Principal of Bala Kuteer and Rajaswari an accountant and everyone who arranged and paid for a traditional wedding, pitching in with gifts etc. The grooms parents, brothers and sisters provided all her clothes. All formalities were scrupulously followed.

Our Very Best Wishes to Jyothi and Bhagya for a very happy future.
