Three boys from Shanti Nivas are going to College!

Bangaru, Pydinaidu and Raju, from our Shanti Nivas Home for HIV+ children, called Thompson House, have passed their National High school exams at the end of the 10th year and are now about to embark on their 10 + 2.  Officially known as Intermediate these students will take the equivalent of 'A' levels.

Since returning to India Victor has been busy finding out what the new entrants  want to study at 'Inter'. Their choice will be guided by their 10th class subject marks. There is, however, another hurdle to overcome. The best colleges are the private ones where teachers come regularly and the standards are higher. They compete with one another and fill up quickly. Then again there is the travelling distance  to take into account as our children will be riding bikes. 

Bangaru

Our three students from Shanti Nivas who want to do Inter are facing another problem. The college they would like to go to has a good reputation and they only take children who scored high grades. They have turned down our three boys for this reason but Victor is appealing to the college authorities on the grounds that our children are orphans. We are all waiting with baited breath to find out the Gayitri college decision.
STOP PRESS
I have been waiting to hear the outcome of Victor's appeal to the College Principal
before publishing this post. 
Victor is delighted to announce that two of the boys, Bangaru and Raju have been accepted to study Maths, Physics and Chemistry at the prestigious Gayitri College in Gotlam. They will have to work really hard to justify these places which are usually given to candidates with higher marks. Pydi, the third of the trio, decided that he would like to study Arts subjects and is going to Sai Siddhartha college in Gajapatinagaram.

Four from Prem Nivas

The Prem Nivas children will go to college in Gagapatinagaram. Santosh and Suneetha have already started their second year of Inter. 

Sravani has qualified to take Inter and has chosen to study History, Economics and Civics at Sai Siddhartha College in Gajapatinagaram. 

Jyothi, our Head Girl at Prem Nivas, failed maths by a couple of marks and retakes her exam on 26th of this month. Hopefully she will pass this time. Jyothi wants to study the same subjects as Sravani.

Vasavi says 'namaste'  -  'thankyou'
to her student sponsor J.Aunty. 

 The DMC and Rainbow children are much nearer to the colleges as they live in Vizianagaram town. They have had the advantage of attending private schools since the beginning. 
Sandeep is continuing his studies for a degree in Electronics and Communications Engineering.
Vasavi has started her B.Com degree course in Economics and Commerce.
