Success Story 2 - A ray of hope through collective community support

Village Gondivalasa in Araku valley mandal in Visakhapatnam is located around 15 kms away from the Mandal head quarter. This village is inhabited by a primitive Tribal Group (Most Backward tribal Group) Tangula Gurubari -10 year old Nanhi Kali, studying in 4th class, comes from a very poor family and her parents are illiterate. The main sources of income for the family are from the forest (Non Timber Forest product) and daily labour. She has got 2 brothers and a sister. She is very active, good in studies and extra curricular activities. Tangula was selected as the leader of Library club in the school. She is interested in reading books and motivates her friends to also read books.

On completion of her studies in 4th class she had to discontinue her studies due to the sudden demise of her mother. Being the eldest in the family, she was forced to support her father. Though she was interested in continuing her studies, her father was not interested in sending her to school. Initial effort to counsel her father failed and hence, a village level meeting was organized. In the meting as a result of the combined efforts of community leaders and Naandi personnel her father was made to understand and finally agreed to send Gurubari to school. The community has agreed to extend all possible support to family. She is back in school with her friends and in Aug. 2007 she received her 2nd year Nanhi Kali kit. She wants to study more and become a teacher
