Six year old Varun Sharma is affected with polio and walks with the help of calipers. He comes from an economically backward family- his father is a shop-keeper and makes a very modest income.
Varun is studying in grade 1, at the integrated school run by Amar Jyoti in Gwalior, India. Despite his disability, he is a regular student. When Varun joined the school, he was a shy and reserved child who was slow in his work and weak in studies. But over time, with individual attention from his teachers, Varun has shown considerable improvement in his studies and is now an average student.
Varun loves drawing and singing and has also won prizes in inter-school competitions.
Since most schools in India do not admit children with disabilities, getting admission into the school run by Amar Jyoti is a dream come true for Varun.
Thank you, Carey, Callan and Tricia for your generous gift of tuition for Varun! With your support he can now achieve his dreams and reach his full potential!
