Continued support for Barani

Barani is now doing final year B.E (EEE) in EGS Pillay Engg College, Nagapattinam. He was one of the students whom we have helped last year.
A brief background about Barani, especially for the new members of HM:To meet his fees for the first two years, Barani's father had sold out their ancestral house for Rs 85,000 and paid the fee and met other expenses. For the third year, he had to pay a fees of Rs 32,500 by June 30, 2005.. They had decided to sell the cows that would fetch around Rs 13,000 and some jewels that could garner another Rs 15,000. Besides, the hostel expenses come around Rs 1100 a month. He is staying outside (which is cheaper) and has to spend around Rs 750 a month for food and accommodation. His father's salary comes around just Rs 1200. Even if his mother goes for cooking in balwadis, she could earn just Rs 500 a month. His sister had just completed her +2 and has joined B.Sc in a local college paying a fees of Rs 1750. In a happy development, Barani's college management had offered him a scholarship of Rs 15,000 (nearly waiver of half-of-the fees) for being one among the top 5 students. Bala brought this request to Helping Minds and HM gave Rs. 5000 for last year's fees and Sneham has provided Rs. 5000 to Barani. Due to these developments, as we wished, they had not given away the cows!
Barani has secured 77.7% in V sem. VI sem marks are awaited. He has requested for help this year too. His college has waived the Rs. 7500 in the fees for him this year. Helping Minds has provided Rs. 10000 for paying his fees for this year. Muppi has taken a DD in the name of the college and handed over the same to Bala today. We hope and wish Barani to do well this year and get a job soon.
