Durga is a 11th grade student in
Cuddalore Isha Vidhya school.
Durga's mother Rajalakshmi runs
a small grocery store in their
village in the state of Tamil Nadu,
India.
“Since the lockdown, I earn little
or nothing. Customers have not
been able to earn money and are
unable to spend any. I am finding
it difficult to make ends meet –
we are even falling short of food
for the children. But I want Durga
to study well, so I let her use my
smartphone for her online lessons.
It makes me so happy to see my
child learning so many things.
Durga should study well and
become a doctor one day, this is
my dream for her”, says Rajalakshmi,
with an empty wallet but a heart
full of ambition for her daughter.
Parents like Rajalakshmi have great
hopes and ambitions for their children.
If you would like to be continually
involved in supporting the education
of rural children like Durga, you can
start a monthly recurring donation for
a small amount, which will make a
huge difference in offering education
for them. The link to start a recurring
donation is:

We thank you for all you have done to
Isha Vidhya, and we look forward for
your continued support!
Thanks & Best Regards,
