Admitted to HOINA November 15, 2009

Family Background: Pavan’s parents married through an arranged marriage in 2005. They had a daughter, Manasa, in 2006, and Pavan was born in 2007. Shortly after Pavan’s birth, his father became ill and died of cancer in 2008. Pavan’s mother, Lakshmi, moved with her children to live with her parents and began doing labor in the fields, but the wage for this work was very small and she could not support her children. In 2009, Pavan and his sister Manasa were admitted to HOINA.

Pavan has brown eyes, and is described as very smiley and active by the HOINA staff.
