Ask any of the teachers at Sandipani Muni School to tell you about their best students, and you will certainly hear them tell you about Raj Kumar. At just 12 years old, this 4th grader is one of the most dedicated and talented students SMSS has ever seen. He is quick with his studies (especially his favorite subject, English), curious to explore new things, and always helpful with the other students in his classes.
All this, while living in extreme poverty with cerebral palsy.
Raj Kumar has struggled with cerebral palsy his entire life. He was born prematurely, which caused complications with the development of his neuromuscular system. It was evident to his family and doctors early on that Raj Kumar’s body would not develop normally. He was unable to sit on his own until he was three years old, and as he grew, he found walking to be a serious challenge.
Although there is no cure for cerebral palsy, treatment with physical therapy can make Raj Kumar’s life more manageable and allow him to continue with his studies. He is going to the doctors again soon to discuss plans for ongoing care, and we’ll update you all soon about his story.

One of our teachers, Sonia, said this about Raj Kumar: "I know Raj Kumar, he is one of the best and brightest kids I have ever seen around. His enthusiasm for studies is remarkable."
