Greeshma has been sponsored through Chalice for over seven years. This is the most recent letter that she wrote to her sponsors.

Loving greetings from Greeshma. How are you and your family? I hope you are all fine.

I am now a nursing student of St. Martha's Hospital in Bangalore. Really I am enjoying these professional studies. Here I have new experiences and different situations. Now I finished my one exam and lamp-lighting ceremony. I got first rank in my exam. That was an unforgettable event in my life, because many students in our class are very brilliant and talented. So I never thought this was possible. Here I am participating in dance, sports, drama, etc. We had a grand Christmas and also New Year Programme. It was very nice. I participated in music drama. It was the story of Christmas with music and dance. It was a wonderful programme. We had a nice get-together with all our friends. I was unable to participate in the Chalice Christmas celebration because I wasn't home for Christmas, but the Sisters sent a Christmas gift with my parents, who came to visit me. This year the gift was a saree, and I like it very much. Thank you.

Now I am a nurse. I like to give health care to my patients. Our hospital is a charitable hospital. So the poor with severe problems can get treatment here. I am doing my work sincerely and patiently.

As part of the curriculum we had a community posting. It was a very nice experience. We went to visit houses to give health education. We spent almost one month in the community.

My brother is studying in higher secondary. He selected the humanities group. My parents are keeping well. We are praying every day for you and your family.

I am really thankful for all the help.
