Out of them, one has come to normalcy. The other two are consuming SaiSure. Because of the powder, there has been an increase in their weight parameters. A heartfelt thanks on behalf of all the elders and beneficiaries to Annapoorna Trust for providing SaiSure.”

Aiysha Sultana is an anganwadi teacher at Gudibande
“I am Aiysha Sultana, Anganwadi teacher in Gudibande town. Sri Sathya Sai Annapoorna Trust has been of help to our MAM children. We mix the powder in milk and give the children twice a day. Due to this, children eat well with good appetite and there has been improved growth. Gratitude to Annapoorna Trust for providing this SaiSure powder to our Anganwadi children.”
One of the parents from Gudibande
“Since my child has been given SaiSure, there is a lot of improvement. There is a good progress in height and weight. A lot of thanks to Annapoorna Trust in Muddenahalli. This way, if all children are given SaiSure, there could be good results and good improvement in all. Once again, thanks to all.”
Anganwadi supervisor from Gudibande taluk
“There is a new kind of system in Gudibande taluk which is SaiSure powder given by the Sri Sathya Sai Annapoorna Trust to our children. To bring a progress in our children to normalcy in their health parameters, Annapoorna Trust has helped us very nicely. Earlier, the children never used to drink milk. Since SaiSure powder is being given, they have started consuming milk and are well now. The parents have been requesting us to give SaiSure every day, unlike once a month, which they would give the children. The Trust has been giving us help and supporting us very well. The powder is very nutritious and is giving an excellent growth in the children.”
One of the parents from Gudibande
“I would like to greet the Annapoorna team with a very good morning. The Trust has been giving SaiSure powder to my child from last four months. We live in Gudibande, seventh ward. The Anganwadi madam gives SaiSure punctually on time, every month to the children and records weight parameters of the children. After I take SaiSure home, I mix it with milk and give it to my child. My child loves to drink SaiSure. Accidentally, If I forget to mix the powder into the milk, my son reminds me to add the powder and then give. If the powder gets over, he is not ready to listen to me when I say, it got over. He loves the taste of this powder. Due to SaiSure, his weight and overall growth have been progressing well. Seeing this improvement and development in my child, I also feel very happy. A lot of thanks to the team who is providing SaiSure and to the Trust and whichever child shows less weight, it is my request to the Trust to give this SaiSure powder to such children and help them.”
Anganwadi teacher by name P N Aruna
“My name is Aruna, and I am working as a Anganwadi teacher. In our centre, there are six MAM children. We provide SaiSure to the children and all have showed improvement in their weights. Requesting to continue to provide help in the same way, I express my gratitude to Sri Sathya Sai Annapoorna Trust.”
Parent by name Varalakshmi
“My name is Varalakshmi, and my town is Gudibande. My son has been receiving SaiSure from past four months. Growth has been good, and he has become normal. Thanks to this organization which has been giving SaiSure powder.”
Parent by name Lokanath of Gudibande
“My name is Lokanath. My daughter’s name is Lakshmi. She was very weak. Hence, from Anganwadi, we have been receiving proteins in the form of this powder. Since she started consuming this powder, her growth has been good. Thanks to Annapoorna Trust who has been giving this SaiSure powder.”
Parents were happy & surprised to have received SaiSure multi-nutrient health mix along with Amla, Imli Candy, Peanuts Chikki, Masks & Activity book at their doorstep in respective remote villages every month. The impression formed in their minds due to the service rendered to rural children by Oracle & Annapoorna Trust will surely be etched in their minds and will provide inner satisfaction to all who are involved in this nutrition intervention either directly or indirectly. We look forward to being associated with Oracle Inc in many such initiatives in building our nation.
