Inventure Academy raises Rs 80,000 for Camlin School boy

Inventure Academy students were touched by a recent report in a newspaper daily on Aditya, a grade 10 student of Camlin School suffering from Guillain Barre Syndrome, a rare form of progressive muscle dystrophy.

What was even more unique was the attitude of his friends, who were knocking each door possible to raise funds to save the life of Aditya over their board exams.

“We too wanted to do be of some help to Aditya hence started a fund raising campaign in school under the guidance of our teacher Anuradha mam,” says Anika Desai, Grade 5 student.

For the campaign to be successful, our class put posters on the notice board spreading awareness about Aditya and disease he was suffering from. “We also went to each classroom reminding the students to contribute towards the cause,” says Karan Buntval, also a grade 5 student.

The school successfully raised Rs 83,000 in around a week! The fund raised was handed over to the parents, which eventually went for his treatment.
