Help for a Tambaram BEd student

We got a request for help from a BEd student from Tambaram. Her mother is working as a house maid, her father had expired few years back, her brother had expired one year back. She had completed BSc and went to a job working in a weaving shop in a village near Chennai.
The total fees for her course is 60k. She has so far paid 30k (from savings from her salary, jewels and help from others) and have got permission till Feb 15th for rest of the 30k. The school principal in which she underwent training (as part of her course) has said that he will get her a job in the school for a salary of about Rs. 3500 per month. She is confident that the Principal will keep up his word. The course teachers have also said that they will recommend her for teacher job in couple of schools. So job prospects are pretty ok for her once she finishes the course. Her mother is doing house hold work to run the family and has had an eye operation recently. This course and the subsequent job seems to be the only hope for them.
Helping Minds has provided Rs. 10000 towards her fees. We have refered this student to other trusts. Sneham has given Rs. 5000 and Dream India trust has provided Rs. 10000 towards her fees.

Its good to see the helping hands. Am coming across this for the first time. Can you let me know how much is required as of now, and what are all the modes of payment. And also is it possible to know, whether it reaches the right person.

Yuva, Thanks for your message. We checked and found that the girl has paid the fees. We will keep you informed about other deserving requests we get to know.
