Sangeetha has new skills and a new home

Dear Friend,

 

People with disabilities are often seen as cursed in India. Such was the case of Sangeetha, who contracted polio as an infant and was abandoned by her family. She finds it hard to trust people after being shunned by her family members and left in an orphanage.

She attended school and started trying to become independent. She went from hostel to hostel and job to job, but had bad experiences with both. She decided only a government job would give her the job security she needs, and the computer training program offers just the certification course she needs! 

Now Sangeetha lives in the hostel and is pursuing her government certification. This would not be possible without your support! Loving community and solid education are setting Sangeetha and others like her up for success.

Thanks again for your support!

Sincerely,

John Sparks

President, India Partners
