Thank you for helping Sangeetha!

By John Sparks | John Sparks - President, India Partners

Dear Friend,

Thank you for helping students with disabilities receive valuable computer training. You are giving them a chance to succeed and find a good job.

In India, people with disabilities are ostracized and neglected. But today you are giving people like Sangeetha hope for a brighter future.

Sangeetha contracted polio when she was an infant and was forsaken by her family. Her only known relative is her uncle who took the responsibility to put her in an orphanage. Since both her legs have been affected, she has to use a wheelchair.

Sangeetha received a good education and has a Masters in Commerce. Now she is in the process of becoming fully sustainable and has been looking for a job. Sadly, she had nowhere to stay after she graduated and she had difficulties finding a job because of her disability. Her uncle didn't want her home.

After searching for a steady job and a good hostel, she decided to join our computer training program. When she heard about the government certification courses that we offered, she was determined to complete the certification classes in computer training. And after enrolling in our program, she is so happy to have found a good education and new place to live.

Thank you for your support!

Sincerely,

John Sparks
