By Kanchan | Student
My name is Kanchan. My family is very big, I have four brothers and three sisters. But I am the youngest one.
We are all getting education at People First’s School in Dhobi.
My sisters did not get chance for education beyond class six because my parents felt that there was no point because they will be married anyway. With me it’s different.
Why?
Because there is a programme at our school for girls only where the people first staff and my teachers sometimes talk to my parents and they have signed a bond which says I can be in full time education for as long as I need it. I work very hard but I enjoy my school very much and I want to be a doctor for animals. I was first position in my class and my family is very proud. My school being a people first school is free to all the poor children but because I am part of the education for girls programme I get extra money for books and school materials and uniform, and the Trust has made sure that my parents support me. I want to thank you for your support very much and wish you and your families well.
