Vinodini, the live wire!

Four year old Vinodini is from Gorai, Mumbai, India. Her father is a construction worker and her mother stays at home to take care of Vinodini and her two sisters. Her father struggles to adequately provide for the family and cannot afford to send Vinodini to school.

The Sahaara Charitable Society believes that a helping hand and a continuum of services and opportunities is key to transform the dreams of the poor into reality. Sahaara helps fulfill the dreams of 4000 marginalized people every year.

Four year old Vinodini* is a student at Sahaara’s balwadi (Indian pre-school) in Gorai. Sahaara’s balwadi has a systematic curriculum wherein children are equipped in the following subjects over the period of a year: English and Hindi; alphabets and poems; writing skills; general knowledge such as colors, animals, flowers and personal hygiene; and games and activities such as counting and recognition.

Vinodini loves the playtime activities at the balwadi. She is a live wire that is energetic and lively in class! She thoroughly enjoys physical activities like running and hopping. She loves to draw and enjoys sharing her toys and things with other children!

Your generous donations will help Sahaara provide an entire year of education to Vinodini, thereby ensuring that she has the opportunity to a stable future!

Thank you Joan, Vijay, Prashan and Soumya for your support of Vinodini!
