Become A Volunteer

I am blind since my age of 5. ,My life was shattered as i could not live like any other children. My life was also dark since I am from a very poor family, and we struggled to meet our daily ends. My father was an alcholic & I headed no where in life. I wanted to study but due to my family condition I was not able to pursue my education. One of my friend who was at VARA FOUNDATIONS and informed me how his life has changed after joining VARA FOUNDATIONS I was excited about his experience at VARA FOUNDATIONS and now I am here today pursuing my under graduation at Yediyur with the help of VARA FOUNDATIONS who is taking care of my Accomodation, Education and my nutritious food , all of course free of cost.

My name is Shashi. I was a farmer in Chikkaballapur. I was doing fine but destiny had other plans for me. I lost my vision due to some neurological problem at the age of 25. I was the sole bread earner for my family, and my mother is a widow. After I lost my vision I was so depressed in life & did not know in which way to head. One fine day a ray of hope shined on me and I approched VARA FOUNDATIONS who welcomed me and offered me a job in their organisation. Today I am so confident and happy that I am able to take care of my mother and I live my life with dignity. I thank VARA FOUNDATIONS for giving me this opportunity.
