Knowing he is safe from illnesses, Vasanth sits tall

Vasanth is the oldest son of Madhan and Saritha. Madhan is fisherman from Pudupattinam Fishermen Colony. Vasanth has one younger brother. They live in tsunami rehabilitation house at Pudupattinam.

Vasanth is a lower kindergarten student in the Primary School run by HOPE Foundation in Pudupattinam, near Chennai, India. At the time of admission, the school ensured that Vasanth was taken to the government run primary health clinic where he was given the DPT (Diptheria, Pertussis, Tetanus) shot, and OPV (Oral Polio Vaccine). Vasanth will continue receiving OPV whenever there is a pulse polio drive. A primary health worker will also be visiting the school periodically, to ensure that Vasanth gets all his other vaccinations on time.

Your donation, Rajeev, will ensure that Vasanth remains protected against seven deadly illnesses all his life.
