Harsha’s Goal

Listen to this cheerful, bright brave heart Harsha. She is our recent beneficiary from Tirunelveli, who is only in 7th grade but has astounding clarity on pursuing her goal to become a Pulmonologist. She lost her Father who was a construction worker due to COVID-19.

Thanks to her late father who was instrumental in sowing a strong seed in this young mind, before he died to become a doctor when she grew up -to save lives.

 

A Mother’s Thank you!!

Our happiness knew no bounds when we knew that we could support a Mother in her journey to provide a continuing education for her daughter.

Mrs. P. Santhanalakshmi lost her Husband and was in immense agony and concern when we met her in the school as she was grieving her husband’s loss a few months back owing to COVID-19. She was facing financial problems in meeting her family’s day-to-day needs

Mrs. P. Santhanalakshmi expressed her gratitude to us, from the bottom of her heart for fully knowing that her child’s education would be sponsored and felt relieved that Nansei and UU have stood together in securing the future of her child.

 

The Family with a Dream

This family hailing from a remote village in Tiruvannamalai consists of 3 young children who lost their father to Covid 19, recently.

The mother Mrs. R. Malar is a hard-working daily wage laborer, with no steady employment and is currently the only breadwinner in the whole family with no other support.

The family lives on a hand-to-mouth existence with constant anxiety about the fact of how little they have shared their request to lead a respectful life and their dreams – One of the children wants to be a doctor, while her siblings aspire to be a police officer and an advocate.

Nan Sei and UU have sponsored the education of all three children as we strongly believe that when a community thrives, its people thrive, and their homes are just the beginning of a bright future for all those underprivileged sections in our society today.

Maya Kannan’s Transformation

maya-kannan-transformation

From a child laborer engaged in packing match boxes to a train pilot of Southern Railway, it has been an arduous journey for Maya Kannan. He is a boy from the dark but colorful town of Siva Kasi, hailing from an impoverished background. Udhavum Ullangal and the National Child Labor Project (NCLP) funded his education to study engineering. He worked hard not worrying or taking into heart the degrading financial conditions of his family and secured his engineering degree. As Maya Kannan was about to witness a light at the end of the tunnel, the most unfortunate incident took place when the employer, during the campus interview, rejected him for the job opening, citing a lack of communication skills. Maya Kannan’s heart was filled with despair and pain as he worked in the grocery store where he was then employed.

At this stage, the mentors in Udhavum Ullangal guided him as part of the mentoring program and helped him enroll in coaching classes to help build his communication skills. This helped Maya Kannan and he was finally able to experience various emotions such as happiness, pride, and success when he was finally able to write the railway exams. Post passing the exam, he secured a job as a loco pilot in Indian Railways, at a small town called Trichy. The statement that “hard work when accompanied by guidance produces success”, has been successfully proven through the inspiring story of Maya Kannan.
