If these Children had not been given a loving home, with educational and medical care, they may well have been begging on the streets . Brighter Future gave them a home.
They have finished High School and have qualified to study what is known as 10+2.
These exams are the equivalent of our 'A levels at a Sixth Form College. Sanyasi, Anil, and Vasavi have started their studies as the academic year begins in June. Praneetha's parents have moved to a leprosy colony near Visakhapatnam so Praneetha may go to a college near them. We send them to private colleges to make sure that they have the best teachers. They have to pass year 11 exams before they can continue into the 12 th year.
They still live at DMC House and the Rainbow Home, going to college on cycles if not too far away. Sanyasi is studying Maths, Physics and Chemistry. Vasavi and Anil have chosen Commerce, Economics and Civics.
Sandeep sailed through his exams and is now in the final year 12 studying Maths, Physics and Chemistry. Jyothi and Manohar had to retake a subject but are now also in the 12th. Manohar has enrolled in a college near his parent's leprosy colony, as he wants to keep an eye on his family. Brighter Future will continue to support him in his studies.
Sandhya failed her subjects so we will find some less academic course for her.
