I am inspired to qualify as a doctor and serve in the Red Cross.”

Shanti Santosh, class XII. Father fisherman, mother housewife. “I transferred to GVHSS-N four years ago. During the past two years this school has changed 360 degrees. It is now like any private school in terms of study and sports facilities, with clean toilets and changing rooms. Teachers have also been trained to be friendly and sympathetic to students.”

Sailakshmi M.K, class X. Father fisherman, mother housewife. “I have been in this school for the past six years. The change in the school after the F&S Foundation became involved couldn’t have been imagined. Today we have nice classrooms and bathrooms, excellent labs and library, and well-trained, supportive teachers. After finishing class XII, I intend to qualify as a fashion designer.”

Alexiba Samson, class VIII. Father automobile salesman, mother receptionist. “Two years ago, GVHSS-N was a poor school. Now it has become big and famous. I love the AstroTurf playground that the F&S Foundation has gifted us. I love playing football, and I’m training to play football for India.”
