Dear Aunty Ann,
My name is S. Jai Pugazh. I am studying 8th STD in KLK Government Higher Secondary School, Gummidipoondi. My father is a painter and my mother is running a tailor shop. My ambition to become a policeman will become a reality with your valuable support to improve my education. We felt very bad on hearing your health condition and my mother is worried and shared her feelings that even at this age she is helping people like us. We are praying God for your speedy recovery. God will be always with you.


Yours loving son
Jai Pugazh
Rettambedu village.
