Rising Stars

The whole purpose for our school's existence is to enrich the lives of children from several leprosy colonies. Many of these children are first-generation students who are the only literate ones in their families. Some came to us at 8 or 10 years of age having never been in school. We love them dearly and we believe that their future is certainly brighter because of the opportunities provided by the generous supporters of Rising Star Outreach. Take a stroll with us and meet our dear and delightful Rising Stars at work and play.
