Sagar is back at Amar Jyoti!

Sagar attending a class at Amar Jyoti School, Gwalior
Dear Madhu,

Sagar is a 14 year old boy studying in 2nd standard (second grade) at Amar Jyoti School.  At a young age, he contracted polio in his right leg.  He is a social, well mannered boy.  Sagar comes from an economically under privileged family. His father is a garland maker and only earns daily wages. Sagar and his father live in a small rented room.

Sagar had to leave Amar Jyoti two years ago because of family problems.  He did not attend any school during this time.  Recently, he has been able to rejoin Amar Jyoti, and is beginning to improve over time.  He has been getting special attention from his teachers in all subjects.

When he first started back at Amar Jyoti, he was not very regular in coming to school. Sagar and his father have started coming to Amar Jyoti together for counseling which has helped improve Sagar’s attendance.  If Sagar comes to school more regularly, he can make great progress in studies as he holds potential to do much better.

It was the kind donation of a year of tuition from Madhu that will allow Sagar to continue his studies at Amar Jyoti.  Thank you so much for your support of Sagar and Amar Jyoti!
