Krishan will start first grade!

Krishan is a ten year old boy studying in the special section at Amar Jyoti School. Despite his Cerebral Palsy, he is motivated to come to school and is making sincere efforts to improve his performance. He has been coming to Amar Jyoti for two years.

Krishan comes from an economically underprivileged family. His father is a daily wage laborer and his mother is a home maker. It is difficult for his parents to support his education and medical needs. His parents are concerned about his education and want him to be able to continue.

When he first arrived at Amar Jyoti, Krishan was an academically average child. Due to his Cerebral Palsy, he does not have full control over his hand movements which affects his handwriting. His teacher had to be patient with him and pay individual attention to him.

Krishan’s writing skills have improved due to the motivation of his teachers. He is slow in writing but understands the concepts well. He successfully completed his Nursery class and is now studying at the kindergarten level. He is learning sentences with three and four words in English. In Maths, he can do simple addition and has been recommended to be integrated into the grade 1 level class.

He likes drawing and colouring pictures. In sports, he likes playing badminton and carom board. His communication skills have improved with time and he interacts well with his peers.

Jennifer, your very generous donation of a year of tuition will relieve the financial difficulties facing Krishan’s family and allow Krishan to continue his studies at Amar Jyoti.  Thank you for supporting Krishan and Amar Jyoti!
