Supporting Pavan & Yaavesh’s Education | LYNAYC

For a single mother, keeping two children in school while managing

limited financial resources can be an enormous responsibility.

For Sheela Marry, that responsibility means doing

everything she can to protect the education and future of her two sons,

Pavan and R. Yaavesh Nowroj.

For the past four years,

Love Your Neighbours As Yourself Charity (LYNAYC)

has stood beside this family, helping the brothers continue their

education and pursue their dreams.

Meet Pavan and Yaavesh

Pavan and Yaavesh are two brothers at different but equally important

stages of their education.

Pavan is currently studying in

Grade 8 at Mother Theresa Matric HR Secondary School.

His older brother, R. Yaavesh Nowroj, is in

Grade XII at St. Mary’s Higher Secondary School in Madurai.

Both boys have the opportunity to learn, grow and prepare for their

futures. But for their mother, keeping both of them in school comes

with a significant financial challenge.

₹42,930 to Keep Two Brothers Learning

For the 2026–2027 school year, the educational

expenses documented for the brothers total ₹42,930.

• Pavan’s school fees: ₹18,130

• Yaavesh’s school fees: ₹24,800

• Total: ₹42,930

For a single mother with limited income, meeting these expenses while

also providing for the family’s everyday needs is an enormous burden.

Yet education remains one of the greatest opportunities Pavan and

Yaavesh have to build a more secure future.

Financial hardship should never determine whether a child

gets the opportunity to remain in school.

Four Years of Standing Beside One Family

This is not a story about a single moment of assistance.

For the past four years, LYNAYC has continued

supporting Pavan and Yaavesh’s education.

That continuity matters.

Education is a long-term journey. Helping with one year of school

can make an immediate difference, but continuing to stand beside a

family gives children something even more valuable:

stability.

Instead of facing the uncertainty of whether financial circumstances

might interrupt their schooling, the brothers have been able to

continue focusing on their studies.

Giving a Mother Room to Hope

Educational support does not affect only the student.

For Sheela Marry, knowing that her sons can continue their studies

helps relieve a significant financial responsibility.

Instead of carrying the burden of their educational expenses entirely

on her own, she has people standing alongside her.

And that support gives her something every parent deserves:

the ability to look toward her children’s futures with hope.

A Mother’s Gratitude

In expressing her gratitude for the support her family has received,

Sheela Marry described what the opportunity to continue learning

has meant for her sons and her family.

“You have given my sons the greatest gift — the chance to learn.

You have saved our family. Thank you for believing in us when

no one else could.”

— Sheela Marry

Her words remind us that educational assistance is about far more

than paying a school fee.

It is about giving children opportunities and helping families

believe that difficult circumstances do not have to define their future.

Why Long-Term Educational Support Matters

A child’s education is built one school year at a time.

When a family experiences financial hardship, every new academic year

can bring the same uncertainty:

Will we be able to afford school again?

Long-term educational support helps replace that uncertainty with

continuity.

Pavan can continue progressing through school.

Yaavesh can continue through an important stage of his secondary

education.

And their mother can continue encouraging them without carrying

the entire financial burden alone.

Two Brothers. Four Years. One Continuing Journey.

Four years of support represents much more than four sets of school fees.

It represents four years of classrooms, lessons, examinations,

friendships and opportunities to keep moving forward.

Most importantly, it represents four years in which financial

hardship did not have to bring Pavan and Yaavesh’s education to an end.

When we help a child remain in school today,

we help give them more choices tomorrow.
