Students ensure former classmate leaves a legacy

Ophthalmic Dispensing students at Bradford College have raised funds to build a water-well in Nepal in memory of classmate Suresh Ram, who died unexpectedly last summer at the age of 21.

His college friends wanted to create something positive in his name and after raising £300, have been able to pay for a well that will bring life-saving clean water to a Nepal village through the charity Penny Appeal.

Classmate Aneeka Naz said: ‘Suresh was one of a kind. He touched everyone's hearts. We all miss him very much. As a class we wanted to do something to remember him by and pay our respects.’
