Naveen Babu hopes to support his younger siblings!

posted March 3, 2010

Naveen in class

After completing 9th grade, Naveen joined the Padma Industrial School so that he could get a job to support his large family. He has 3 sisters and a brother. His eldest sister is married and works as a counselor. The second eldest is currently getting her degree in nursing. His two younger siblings are both in school.  His younger sister is studying in 10th grade and his younger brother is studying in 8th grade. His father, Mr. Selvam, is a farm laborer and his mother, Ms. Selvi, is a home maker. Naveen’s parents’ income is simply not sufficient to support the education of all of their children. Naveen knows that 100% of Padma graduates go on to find sustainable employment, earning as much as $65-$85 a month.  Covering Naveen’s tuition fees is the first step in allowing him to support the education of his younger siblings.  Thank you Naomi (4 months), Coleman (2 months), Richard (2 months), Calvin, Keith, Amirtham, and Gaurav (1 month) for your kind support of Naveen and the Padma Industrial School!
