One
day in 1998, a German lady called Karin Demuth, turned up unexpectedly on
SKSN's doorstep after seeing only a 3-minute segment on the school in a
BBC / ZDF TV documentary screened in 1997. Titled 'After the Raj', it was
produced to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Indian independence and was
hosted by BBC's top reporter David Dimbleby. 
After
spending some days living at the school, she funded the first section of
the hostel for physically challenged boys'. Karin was the first foreign
donor to help SKSN. And, she's been a ceaseless supporter ever since - helping
to raise funds for everything from the School Dispensary and the Computer
Lab, to medicines, books and sanitary supplies. She continues to visit the
school and spend time with the children every year, sometimes with her husband
Walter. Karin is affectionately known as 'The Mother of SKSN'.
