Anushka & Arushi are sisters and child authors. They recently wrote a book and donated some of their profits to FTND! They were able to provide 75 meals to those in need.

Anushka started reading at the age of 2 and she reads over 1000 books every year. She published her first book at the age of 8!

Arushi started writing at the age of 5. She is now 7 years old and in grade 2.

On behalf of everyone at FTND and the communities that we serve, thank you, Anushka and Arushi!
