Makkala Mitra Hoskote

I am Varun Kumar, hailing from Tulugnuru village in Chinthamani Taluk, Chikkabalapura District. The challenging dynamics at home, with my father’s abusive behavior towards my mother due to alcohol abuse, created an environment unsuitable for studying despite being enrolled in school. Recognizing the adverse effects on our education, my grandfather and mother decided to enroll me and my siblings in Sparsha Trust’s shelter in Hoskote. Here, I not only resumed my studies in the 6th standard but also had the opportunity to engage in various extracurricular activities like painting, drawing, singing, and kabaddi sports – experiences that were not possible in our home environment.The positive atmosphere at Sparsha Trust’s shelter has instilled optimism about my future.
