Arthi has mastered 247 syllables of the Tamil alphabet

Dear Kiran,

Arthi is nine year old and lives in Amirthapuram village in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu. She attends 5th grade at her local government school, but was struggling with her classes, because the quality of teaching at her school was less than satisfactory.

Arthi is now enrolled in the Read India program, and is making tremendous progress in reading and math. Now, she helps other new students to learn the 247 syllables of the challenging Tamil-language alphabet! She also loves to dance.

Thank you, Kiran, for enabling Arathi to achieve her full potential.
