Elaiyarasan working with his new welding kit

Elaiyarasan dropped out of school in Standard 10 to get a job. He joined a welding company but wasn’t earning as much as his friend, who had completed his welding training at the Padma Industrial School. This inspired Elaiyarasan to pursue the same training as his friend, in order to earn a high wage to help feed his family.

Now Elaiyarasan is studying at the Padma Industrial School. Paul, your gift of a welding kit (which Elaiyarasan is using in the picture) means that when Elaiyarasan returns to the welding company, he will have a higher skill level and be able to earn more money. Your gift made a huge impact. Thank you!
