Arun, a Families For Children Success Story

Arun came to us when he was only 5 days old and grew up at Families for Children. He always had a love of music as well as real talent, particularly drumming. He enrolled in music college 2 years ago and currently lives in a hostel near his school in Coimbatore. FFC funded his education.

Arun has set impressive goals for himself and has already accomplished quite abit in his 21 years. He founded an organization called Youth Helping Hands (YHH) to assist children living in orphanages to reach their maximum potential through education, music and dance.

Youth Helping Hands is less than 2 yrs old and currently works with 16 orphanages across Coimbatore. YHH has organized a number of well attended fundraising events to showcase the musical or dancing talents of the children. One thousand people attended the YHH event held in February, including the mayor of Coimbatore. Arun hopes to set up a scholarship fund to assist children from orphanages with higher education.
(Families for Children does support our children who excel in school through post secondary education, but many organizations do not).

We are very proud of Arun and will keep you updated on Youth Helping Hands.
