Student Helps Children with Clubfoot in India

Varun Prasath is a ninth-grade student at Radnor High School in Wayne, Penn.

Last year, his younger sister was in preschool at Heritage School at Church of the Saviour in Wayne, Penn.  The preschool had a special program to support CURE Clubfoot Worldwide.  Each child brought extra change from home to help cure a child with clubfoot in the developing world.

CCW Executive Director Andrew Mayo accepts a check from Varun Prasath.

Through this program, Varun learned about CCW. Since his parents are both originally from Chennai, India, he especially became interested in the CURE Clubfoot Worldwide initiative in India.  He decided to take on his own fundraising project with students and family.

Just a couple of days ago, Varun presented CCW Executive Director Andrew Mayo with  a check for $1,000, which is enough to sponsor clubfoot treatment for four children in India. A great job and thank you to Varun!

Remember, if you have your own CURE fundraiser, we’d love to hear about it.  Send me an email.

Hey great job Varun! What a wonderful example that you don’t have to be “all grown up” or have a great job and lots of resources to make a difference. Sometimes all it takes is the willingness to do something.
