As usual it has been a wet summer at Manjushree.  The monsoon lasts nearly 6 months and it rains most days.

10 more of our Manjushree students completed their secondary education in the spring this year. This summer, they applied for admission to college. 

2 of the boys achieved A grade results in most subjects and they are now at top Delhi universities. 

1 of the girls was accepted for nursing in Mangalore. 

2 further girls are in Mangalore studying journalism and textiles, and 2 boys are in Bangalore. 

The final 3 boys are at college in Bomdila, just half a day’s drive from Manjushree. We are particularly proud of our most handicapped boy, who had to have both arms amputated from the shoulder when gangrene set in after he was badly burnt by live electric wires. He has made the remarkable achievement of getting admission to college along with his peers.  He is extraordinarily able but his 2 ‘brothers’ are with him to assist when needed.
