Vadivelu,(18 years of age) belongs to a very poor family and has 3 sisters and 2 brothers. After his parents died, he got no support from his relations,not even from his brothers. His brothers are all married and Vadivelu had to struggle hard to earn his living. He used to work as a labourer in the agricultural sector and used to wash boats for others. However, after Tsunami all the agriculture land in and around the village was destroyed and he was left with no work. It became very difficult for him to survive.

this time SAFAL gave him an opportunity to undergo a Hospitality training programme for three months. They provided him with traveling allowance and other miscellaneous allowances for the 3 months training. During the training, he was taught English and other necessary skills.

After completing the training he got a job with the “Ajantha Sea View” Hotel at Pondicherry and is now earning Rs.2500/- per month along with free accommodation and food.

The Hotel owner appreciates his work and he is placed amongst the top 10 staff members of the hotel.

Vadivelu is extremely thankful to SAFAL for guiding him and providing him with the opportunity to lead a better life
