The story of Prasanth

Prashanth is a student of 5th standard. He joined our school this academic year. Unable to pay the fees at his previous school his mother wanted to work. She wanted him to earn money and support the family. She believed that this was the only way out in order to raise her other two daughters. She heard about the HOPE foundation school from a neighbour and decided to give it a try.

Prashanth's father abandoned their family as he did not like to live with his handicapped mother. Therefore his mother worked as a maid and enrolled both of her daughters in a free hostel in Mysore.

He is very happy these days after joining school. He loves to do well in studies. His dream is to work in the Cinema industry and would love to help the HOPE foundation School in the future.

Prashanth has scored 87% in the 1st sem and has attended 89 days out of 99 days to school. Beside academics, he has a noted interest in dance and sports activities.
