Dhruv Steals Our Hearts at the 2024 Balo Bash
Dhruv’s transformational story of giving up on public school at ten years old and then three years later working hard to overcome the challenges of Phocomelia when he was invited to join the Balo English Medium School are incredible. He considers his decision to join Balo to be the “Most Precious” gift in his life. He is now the class monitor and on track to pass his class 10 Government Board Examinations in the spring.

Welcome To Balo USA
Balo Is a Lifetime of Community
Shrawan, Nikhil, Sachin, and Sumit started with Balo as 5 year old kids when they won the Balo founder, Betta’s, heart. Our Balo teacher would pick them up from the streets in the afternoon for Kindergarten tutoring. They grew with the school, and when they were ready for third grade, Balo didn’t have the space to continue their studies, so we paid for their education in a rigorous private institute. In the next few years, Balo expanded, purchased our current building and grew into a school serving 350 students from preschool through 12th grade.
These fabulous gentlemen were then educated at Balo English Medium School for the remainder of their studies until they graduated. Shrawan, Nikhil, Sachin, and Sumit are now university students who still live in the Balo neighborhood. They visit the school multiple times a week and are devoted participants with smiles on their faces. Balo is part of their identity.
Several of our Balo graduates, including Shrawan, Nikhil, Sachin, and Sumit work at Decathlon Sporting Good store in Kolkata. They attended a three month training program and passed an exam to earn this opportunity. The money they earn covers their university fees and helps their families overcome poverty.
