When Hope Blossomed Anew...
Muni's smile is in stark contrast to the struggle for survival that has been his LIFE till now. A little while ago, Muni was a bonded labourer grazing cattle in an arid region in rural India.
The burden of poverty, made worse by his mother's lingering sickness forced Muni's father, Jyothi Velu, a landless labourer, to 'mortgage' him for a sum of Rs.2,000/- to meet his mother's funeral expenses when she passed away.
A day in Muni's life typically involved carrying heavy loads, tending cattle and cleaning out sheds, burning his feet in the hot sun when he should have been in school, getting an education -- being a child.
Through World Vision's child sponsorship programme, a generous person came forward to sponsor Muni. Today, he is free to go to school and enjoy life.
The smiling child in the picture is Muni -- transformed. All because someone like you pledged to give Muni a second chance at life.
Now, for Muni, the day starts with the ringing of the school bell and the heaviest load that he lifts is his school bag -- something that he does with laughter in his eyes and hope in his heart.
For just Rs. 600 per month, you too can become a child sponsor! Your sponsorship will send your sponsored child to school and provide him/her with access to clean drinking water and good health and also provide income generation schemes for their parents so that they have the means to give their children a bright future.
