Proposed School Building

Thank you very much for your support to Sphoorti over the years. Hope you have been safe and healthy. We are doing well here in India.

Sphoorti campus was locked down on March 16th and most of the children have been sent to their relatives. A few kids who do not have a family have stayed back. As of now, there is no update from the Government about when schools would reopen. Hyderabad still has 35-40 new cases of infections everyday.

Hazira Bee is staying on campus along with her mother Nagur who works as a cook in our kitchen. Hemanth Sai and Pavani have gone home. The kids have been promoted to higher grades.

While there has been no activity on the ground, Sphoorti has been proactive in reaching out to the victims of Covid-19, mostly the migrant workers and their families.

Next academic year, we are planning to start a school if all approvals are obtained in time.
