A few weeks ago, you heard from Gabby who shared a story about a new preschooler, Paul, on his first day at Shanti Bhavan.
Paul is just one of 60 new preschoolers across our two campuses.
To ensure we meet all their needs, we just launched our annual sponsorship campaign to find a sponsor for every one of these new preschoolers.
I’ve only seen them on my computer screen so far, but I already can’t wait to meet them during my next trip to campus. And I have a feeling you’ll fall in love with them, too.
I’d love to introduce you to three of our new preschoolers!



If your heart just softened a little and you said “aww”, mission accomplished!
You might’ve noticed I haven’t shared where Devi Priya, Sharan, and Janushree come from or the circumstances they’ve left behind. That’s intentional.
When you meet them for the first time, we want you to see what we see: curiosity, joy, a little mischief, and so much promise. We don’t want them to be defined by where they came from. Sponsor them not because of what they’ve faced, but because of everything they can become.
We are so excited to have them with us. And with that excitement comes immense responsibility: to make sure they feel safe and at home, that they are learning, laughing, and treating each other with kindness, just like any other child starting school for the first time.
When you become a sponsor, you help us do all of that, and so much more.
