Varsha is one year old. She is pictured below, on her mother's lap. Born in a hut made of hessian and plastic bags, she has had a hard start to life. Despite drinking mothers milk, she is suffering from malnutrition. She also has tuberculosis (TB).Varsha was spotted by the school doctors when her mother brought her to the evening meal distribution. Fearing that the baby would not live much longer, our school doctor, who is always on the look out for children in need, arranged to get her taken to hospital immediately.
Baby Varsha is now out of hospital and is attending the Sandipani Muni School nursery. We are buying special vitamin enriched formula for her and administering her medicine every day. We need your help to make it possible for us to continue Varsha's treatment, which needs to go on for at least the next 6 months.
If you can make a contribution to the Rs12,000 (US$267) costs for Varsha, including her hospital stay, her treatment for TB, and special milk formula for her to drink, please contact rupa@fflvrindavan.org .
