Neel Kant

Eight-year old Neel Kant, an intelligent and bright student of Class I, lost his father last year. His only support, his mother is also critically ill. He lost the security and happiness that a child derives from his family. Despite all the suffering, he regularly attends OM Foundation School, so that he can take care of his

two sisters when he grows up.

Saloni

Seven-year-old Saloni is a shy, quiet and an intelligent child. Her biggest strength and only bread winner of the family, her father succumbed to an unfortunate accident a few years ago. She has two brothers. Her mother works in a company as a daily wager. It was impossible for her to think of educating all her children

with a meagre household income of Rs. 2400. OM Foundation School offered to educate the girl-child of the family. She was enrolled in the school in July 2008 and is currently studying in Class I.

Deepika

Deepika is a student of Class III of OM Foundation School. She belongs to a single parent family. His father abandoned her mother and left her to fend for herself and their only child, Deepika. Family turmoil has not shaken Deepika’s confidence. She is determined to design a bright future for herself and

takes her teachers at OM Foundation as her mentors in her quest for knowledge and success.

Akash Patel

Akash, eight years, suffers from a birth defect called talipes equinovarus in which the suffering person seems to walk on his or her ankles. A minor and timely surgery and interventions could have treated or improved the condition. However, due to low family income and ignorance, Akash could not be treated. He

now studies in OM Foundation school in class I. His condition does not stop him from actively participating in most school activities and academics.
