Meet Kovinthini, Grace Girls Home
Born July 5, 1988, Kovinthini has been at the Grace Girls Home for almost four years now. Before coming to us, she was living with an uncle across the harbor in Muttur. Her mother passed away in 1996 due to complications at childbirth and her father left the family not long after that.

Kovinthini is a very intelligent girl and a good student whose English skills have improved dramatically since she came to Grace. She has a wonderful sense of humor and a kind heart, and is a great example for the other children. She enjoys reading and playing cricket, and she is probably the best swimmer at the Grace Girls Home. She also enjoys writing poetry; here is one of her poems:

Will There Be Peace? (By Kovinthini S.) Unchangeable word, “PEACE” Stands topsy-turvy everywhere. Finding solution for peace among races… Where shall we go? Where is the white dove? What shall we do? The un-bloomed white lotus Says, “What a sin”… But the Peace that we expected Is burrowing down her head.

Like all children, Kovinthini has dreams; she aspires to become a doctor one day. With VeAhavta’s help, she may one day be able to fulfill her dreams. Without the help of VeAhavta and her sponsors in the U.S., Kovinthini would likely have a bleak future.
