Vinoth Kumar dreams of giving his sister a good education

Dear Chris, James, Jeffrey, Lee, Lesley, David, James and Julie, and Marc,

Thank you for coming together to enable Vinoth Kumar to receive training to become an Automobile mechanic.

Vinoth Kumar comes from a family of modest means, and lives in the village of Pampanpadukkarai a village near Kumbakonam 14 miles away from Manjakkudi. His family income is 18000 per annum.. His father, Veeramani, is a farm labourer, and is the sole breadwinner in the family. His mother, Sudha, is a housewife, and his sisters are both studying in secondary school. Vinoth’s father earns about Rs. 18,000 ($ 360) per annum, which is sufficient for them to get by, but Vinoth knows that unless he starts contributing to the family income, his sisters will soon have to drop out of school because they cannot afford the fees.

Your donations will make it possible for Vinoth to get trained in the Automobile trade at the Padma Vocational Training Centre. At the end of the year long training, he is sure to get a good job, and will be able to ensure that both his sisters get a good education. Thank you for changing his life, and through him the lives of his sisters.
