Six year old girl raises over £900 for village school in India
Aariya Tirahan residing in Bray Court, attends Braywick Court School. Her grandfather Harbhajan Singh Pooni taught her all about the village in India that he visited every year, donating funds and equipment to the local school each time.
In a video on Facebook, Aariya said “My Nana had such a big heart and he cared about everything in the whole world. He always taught me that in today’s world there’s a lot of hardship and helping others is a role we all need to play.”
Following her grandfather’s footsteps, Aariya made a series of Christmas cards for sale to raise money for the school, which will buy a rickshaw for children who cannot afford to take the bus.
“This makes me really sad as I can’t even imagine not going to school,” said Aariya. “Missing out on school was really hard in lockdown. Imagine how these children must feel.” Aariya has raised over £900.
