Bone Singh and Amar Singh dream for a better future!

Sona Bai with her children
Dear Lynda E.,

Sona Bai’s children Bone Singh and Amar Singh love to study. They were fascinated with the smart children they had met during a visit to the nearby town. Unfortunately their village Munj Ka Pura which is in a remote area in the state of Rajasthan, India has only one primary school. The teacher does not turn up often and the elder members in the family are not educated enough to teach them. They usually have to help out the parents in the fields during day time and in the evenings due to the lack of light they were unable to do their studies.

All this changed thanks to the generous donation of a solar lantern by Lynda. They were able to able to study by the light of the fumeless lantern for the first time. They can now read and write in the night and are hoping to join the school in the nearby village!
