Pratyusha begin this effort in Kuwait after listening to the Prime Ministers appeal for humanitarian assistance to the flood victims in Jammu and Kashmir, where millions of people have been impacted by the worst floods in over a century. After collecting the money, Pratyusha handed it over to the Indian embassy in Kuwait to be sent to the Prime Minister's Relief Fund.
A 11th standard student, Pratyusha was in Bhavans for the past 8 years. "Prathyusha has been our student from the time our school started in Kuwait in 2006 and she has been with us for 8 years now," said Mr Premkumar, Principal of Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, Kuwait. "She has brought us laurels in academics at the CBSE examination and in addition to that brought in laurels in sports by representing the school at the CBSE National meets and excelled in all the local cultural and other extracurricular activities. She is a modest and well-disciplined child having compassion for fellow students and friends. I am sure with the kind of personality that she is, she should find herself in one of the top Ivy League colleges like MIT - Boston, Stanford, or Caltech in next couple of years. The amount she collected for the flood victims is out of her love and compassion for humanity and we are proud of such a student who has all the values that Bhavans stands for," Principal told to IndiansinKuwait.com
