will be matching it with $75, which results in Isha Vidhya

More sharings related to Villupuram new school bus:

Aadhavan, 9th grade student, who uses the school bus shares:
"I travel a distance of 15 kms to school from Villupuram. My father John
is indisposed and my mother Latha works as a daily wager, taking care
of my family. My commute starts at 7.45 am. I am a scholarship student
and since my mother is unable to afford transportation, the school provides
it to me free. Despite my family difficulties, I am able to access education
giving me a chance of life and the opportunity to contribute towards my 
family when I grow up."

Caretaker Padmini shares:
"I come from a nearby village called Karuvepilaipalaiyam. I was working as
a housemaid in Chennai and have been with Isha Vidhya school since 4
years. Since I couldn’t bear children, my husband remarried. I feel blessed
to work with so many children and in my heart I feel, they are all mine.
I forget all my worries when I enter the school campus."

The Principal of Villupuram school shares:
"Riding in the school bus is the safest and most reliable way
for our students to come to school. Our heartfelt thanks to the
kind donors for providing this blessing to our children.

When we first saw the bus turning in through the gate slowly
rumbling down the campus, it was a beautiful sight. It then screeched to
a halt and the doors flung open. The children stood still for a moment and
one child took a step forward. Students inched toward the door. As they
started boarding the bus, we could immediately see the happiness on their
face. The bus driver smiled at them and the children sat back, relaxed,
ready to enjoy their new bus ride!"

Again, we thank you for everything that you have done for Isha Vidhya!
