On 6th October, Ms. Susan Seibert (a sponsor from Germany) has visited Angoo village of Churchu block of Hazaribag district to see her sponsored girl child Purnima and Purnima’s family members under the program of Child Centered Community Development with support of Plan India. Ms. Seibert has visited the village High School, interacted with teachers-students and presented some sports items to children. After that she met Purnima and her family members separately at home. All of them became emotional. Ms. Seibert has talked to her sponsored girl child and family members in detail. Also she presented some gift items to them and accepted a Saree from the mother of Purnima. She went to village Anganwadi Center and talked to Sevika, young mothers as well as community members. Ms. Susan Seibert herself works as a teacher in Germany and was willing to see her sponsored child since a long time. She seemed overwhelmed by traditional reception and suggested people for hygiene, marriage at proper age and family planning to lead a happy family life.
