Voices from the field

My daughter stopped school when my husband passed. The trust paid her fees and bought her books. She writes her board exam this year.
Selvi R.Mother, Thondamuthur
I have been giving ₹1,000 a month for four years. Every quarter I get a note telling me which family it reached. That honesty keeps me giving.
Arun KumarMonthly donor, Chennai
The camp found my diabetes before it damaged my eyes. Doctors came to our panchayat — I could never have travelled to the city.
