Background Story:

We got this requirement from Markandeya garu (colleague of our member Sagar Motupalli). 

Markandeya garu's wife (Malavika garu) runs Aarsha tution center at Manikonda. She got to know about Tharani through one of her tuition center students. Tharani did her schooling from Govt School at Manikonda. Observing her interest and dedication towards studies Malavika/Markandeya garu offered scholarship to Tharani by Waiving off her tuition fee. Due to Covid this year, there were no SSC board exams and all the students were promoted.

Her father used to work as a helper in a curry point and currently unemployed due to lockdown. Her mother works as a home maid. Currently they are staying in a pent house @ Manikonda without any rent. Instead, they are doing watchman duties for that building without any pay. Tharani has a elder sister and currently she is studying 2nd year CEC in a Govt college.

Why Tharani Needs Laptop?

Recently, Markandeya garu and his wife Malavika garu also registered Tharani for an IIT foundation course on their own expense. It is an online course and Tharani has been attending classes since few days. Initially, Tharani attended classes through mobile, but there was challenge in viewing the screen for a long time and difficulty in typing her questions in the chat parallely while listening to the classes. Apart from that, she had a problem while attending the live classes due to insufficient Internet speed through mobile data. Knowing this Markandeya garu and Malavika garu arranged a WIFI and also decided to get a laptop for Tharani by seeking help from their known sources. They got to know about Me2We and approached us whether we can help with a used laptop.

Our member Sagar went to their institute and also to Tharani's House and physically verified the requirement. After understanding her need for laptop, we have provided used laptop. 

Thank you Sagar for your time and efforts to verify and execute this requirement during this pandemic situation.
