Saturday, May 30th, 2009

Great news from the Heal Children’s Village, and Poverty Trap project in Guntur.

Our Heal children achieved very good grades in the SSC public examinations, with 43 children out of 46 achieving first classes and the remaining three children achieving second classes.

Mr P.Srinivasulu of our Nandana Rural School who is under Poverty Trap Scheme scored the top – 566 marks out of 600. This is 94.33% and 21 of our children achieved at least 500 marks.

These excellent results have been achieved through the hard work of the children and teachers – well done to you all.

Many of these children would never have had the opportunity to receive such an education without the financial support of Heal. For just £7.50 per month you can sponsor one of our children under the Poverty Trap scheme at Guntur to receive an education.

Slums of Andhra Pradesh

On a recent visit to Andhra Pradesh, Dr Prasad stopped at a village and spoke about the appalling living conditions that many people in India still have to endure.

In this video you will see the type of slum conditions experienced by so many, and Dr Prasad explains the need for education of the children to break this cycle of poverty.

If you would like to help break the cycle of poverty then please consider sponsoring a child in India.
