TARA'S STORY
Tara was born into a poor family in India. Her parents were farmers stricken by drought. They brought Tara to the hostel when she was seven years old because they were struggling to raise their six children. They also valued the good education, care and love Tara would receive.
Tara has been supported by a couple in the US for 12 years and this couple has been sponsoring children through World's Children for 18 years. They currently sponsor four children. When they heard that Tara wanted to study nursing and midwifery, they agreed wholeheartedly to continue her support. Tara is in her first year of nursing college, and well on her way to a bright and successful future.
