About Arun Ahirwal
Arun Ahirwal lives with his parents and one sister in a tiny brick and mud hut in a small village in Central India. The climate in this village is hot and dry. This area experiences heavy monsoon rains in the summer months. The village is located near a river. The family uses wood and cow-pies as fuel to cook their meals. The water well the family uses is about 100 meters from their home.
Arun helps with household chores such as gathering firewood, making and drying cow pies in the sun, and fetching water in buckets from the well for his mom to use for her cooking and cleaning. His parents are both low-waged laborers, which means each day they go out and look for manual work to earn a living for their family. Arun wants to become a teacher one day. He enjoys dancing and reading along with playing soccer with his friends. His favorite foods are dal (lentils), rice, vegetables, and chicken.
Arun comes from a Christian family. They read the Bible daily. Arun needs your help and support to provide for his school fees, uniform, books, school bag, and other needs.
Thank you for helping provide Hope, Dignity, and a Future to Arun!
