Fitting Reward for Hard Work

Two children from our Short Stay Residential Home supported by Terre des Hommes, Netherlands, Ms. Jeevitha and Mr. Dhinakaran have appeared 10th standard Public Examination in April 2013. Both have passed in I class. Ms. Jeevitha scored 359/500 (71.8%) marks and Dinakaran scored 322/500 (64.4%) marks.
