The last three months has been quite hectic for us. As institutions re-open for a full academic year, our foundation has received more than usual calls for help. Even though we have had slight reprieve post covid lockdown, there are still substantial amount of families (daily wagers) still trying to wiggle out of economic pressure.

Vidhyavruksha Foundation has been working hard to ensure that these kids are not denied access to education and we have tried to fulfill most requests to the best of our efforts. With the help of our donors and sponsors, we have funded education fees worth Rs. 3.5 lacs to the following requests. But this is not all and we will do a follow up post to share some more requests that we have fulfilled this year,.

Request -1: Tamizh.S, a II year graduate in physiotherapy

In January, we posted a request for a student Tamizh,S. You can read the full post here. We managed to pay his dues of Rs. 50,000/- that has now helped him to pursue his IInd year.

Request – 2: Jacintha and Jerlin

Similarly, we received a request from an auto driver to help support the education of his two daughters Jacintha and Jerlin (Full post here). We have been able to help the two kids by paying close to Rs. 50,000/-

Request – 3: College Student from Bangalore – Namrata, BDS
