Laxman’s Story
Laxman is the Headmaster of the Shree Mahendra Jyotti School which is a very poor government school we have worked with and have sponsored 40 children at the school for many years. Also, lots of volunteers have spent time at the school and all have praised Laxman. A very hardworking, kind intelligent man who is also the Secretary and very key communicator of the charity. He has sent an email since the earthquake which is a hard read especially for those of us who know him so well. I spent time with him in November, and Olivia and Zoe 6 weeks in February /March. However, it gives us an insight into the tragedy and suffering. Any money raised will go directly to these people.
