Those who can read Telugu can read it in the above photograph how a merit student like Mr. Balakrishna stopped his studies to earn money for his family. He got about 85% in 10th standard and stopped his 11th standard(Junior college) education to work as a daily manual labour to help his family financially. Without thinking for anything I decide to sponsor him for his college education. He is just an example, there are 1000's of students who drop out of schools with different problems, mainly financial and family problems in India.
I saw this news on Eenadu.net website(Telugu newspaper site), dated 25th Dec 2006, when I was in Prague, Czech epublic on Infosys work. I called my Dad to talk to him and eventually sponsored him. The college offered him full fee waiver, but still he couldn't manage his daily expenses. The college is in my native town. So it was easier to contact them and extend my help. |
