Besides the school requires an English teacher, a physical education teacher, and a science teacher may be at a later date.
Asha Chennai’s assistance will immensely benefit the children, particularly avoiding school drop out.

This works to approximately Rs 10,000 per month only, just Rs 50 per child per month or Rs600 per child per year for 200 children.
