About Devesh Kumar
Note: Devesh Kumar has graduated from High School in 2021. Thank you, Sponsors!!!
In a small village in Northern India, Devesh lives with his parents and sister, Bhavna Kumar. Unlike many homes in his village, Devesh's mud-and-brick house does have electricity. There is no running water, however, and Devesh helps his mother by collecting water from the well near their home. Devesh spends a lot of time outside, tending to the family garden and babysitting his siblings. During the summertime, the village experiences intense heat and heavy monsoon rainfall.
Devesh's father works as a laborer while his mother works as a homemaker caring for her family. A diligent student, Devesh works hard in school and has been on the dean's list for several years. He aspires to continue his education in the future by studying to become a doctor. However, in order for this dream to be made a reality, Devesh needs help providing for his school fees, uniform, books, school bag, and other essentials. In his spare time, he enjoys reading, painting, and drawing, as well as playing soccer, cricket, and volleyball. Rice, vegetarian dishes, chapatti (Indian-style bread), and dal (lentils) are some of his favorite foods. Due to a lack of calendar use in his village, Devesh does not know the date of his birth. On his government ID, his birthday has been designated as January 1st.
Thank you for helping provide Hope, Dignity, and a Future to Devesh!
