Kamesh may have lost his father, but he hasn’t lost hope

kamesh 058
Four year old Kamesh is the youngest son of Marimuttu and Sumithra, and he lives in  the fisherman’s colony at Uyyallikuppam.  Four months back, his father, a fisherman, died of brain tumor, and his mother, a housewife, is yet to get over the trauma of the sudden death of her husband. He has an older brother who is studying in the Primary School run by HOPE foundation in Pudupattinam.

Kamesh is enrolled in lower kindergarten at the Primary School run by HOPE Foundation. At the time of admission, the school ensured that he was taken to the government run primary health clinic where he was given the DPT (Diptheria, Pertussis, Tetanus) shot, and OPV (Oral Polio Vaccine).  Kamesh 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  he gets all his other vaccinations on time.

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