US student donates mosquito nets, food packets to villagers in Nagri

A tenth-grade USA student Shresht Rawat reached out to the needy villagers of Nagri Chama in Jharkhand and donated to them some edible and daily need items. To reach out to these people he availed a helping hand from his grandmother Mangla Kumari who lives in India and a Greece-based organisation Amurtel which works for the betterment of people’s life quality worldwide

Shresht Rawat is a student of Upper St. Clair High School, Pittsburgh, PA, USA. Shresht is in 10th Grade and enrolled in International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years Programme (MYP)

For his MYP Project , last year Shresht decided to help people from rural villages in India by donating money that will be used to buy food packets and some daily needs items. Since then Shresht has been working few hours over the weekends and also reaching out to people for donations. Shresht managed to collect 690 USD that translates to INR 58650 (Indian Rupees). This amount was good enough to distribute 100 mosquito nets and food packets to the families of village Nagri Chama in Jharkhand state of India.

Shresht took help from his grandmother, Mangla Kumari, who lives in India and helped Shresht  to coordinate with an international organization called Amurtel. Amurtel works on improving quality of life for people worldwide.
