Diwagar sees a future beyond his family’s vegetable stall

DIWAKAR
Dear Tom,

Thank you for ensuring that Diwagar is protected from 7 deadly childhood illnesses.

Diwagar is 5 years old and is the younger child of Arumugam and Radha. His father is hearing impaired, and runs a vegetable stall with the assistance of his wife. Diwagar has an older brother, and studies in grade 1 at the school run by Hope Foundation in Pudupattinam. The family lives in a hut in Periyar Nagar.

At the time of admission, the school ensured that Diwagar was taken to the government run primary health clinic where all the necessary vaccinations were given to him, and his immunization chart brought up to date. He 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 will ensure that Diwagar is shielded from seven deadly illnesses by life-saving vaccines.
