Gaurav’s academics and social skills are improving!

Creative Side
Dear Josh,

Gaurav is a 9 year old boy studying in 3rd grade at the Amar Jyoti School in Gwalior, India.  He is an easy-going, social and well mannered boy. He has had an open soft palate since birth, so his speech is not clear.

Gaurav comes from an economically underprivileged family and has one sister. His father works in a sweet shop, where his income is not enough to support the family. Gaurav was behind in his studies when he joined the school and needed individual attention in all of his subjects. He was also a little reserved and did not communicate much with his peers.

With time, Gaurav has shown an improvement not only in academics but in extra curricular activities as well. He likes coloring pictures and he participated in the race competition on Children’s Day at Amar Jyoti School. According to Gaurav’s teacher, he has shown improvement in class room activities. Thanks Anne, Josh, Josiah and Isaiah for your support!
