THIS IS MY DREAM…
From two students of People First Dhobi Village School – education for girls programme
My name is Prisha I am I think about 14 years of age.
Before I came to this school I did not understand how it would change everything. If you cannot read or write, everything is like a blank page. Now everything comes to life.
Learning brings self-respect and confidence but also the respect of others. My parents after talking with the headmaster and staff of People First have agreed to postpone my wedding until I am ready and when my studies however long they may take are complete.
This is a marvellous thing. If I were not part of educate girls programme at People First and without their support I could never get such an opportunity. My dream is to join the Indian Civil Service or even the Police as it is possible if I continue to work hard that I will indeed with the support of People First get the qualifications I need.

My name is…. Saanvi
I am about 15 years old.
My family like all the families whose children come to the school are very poor. My brother always got more attention than me. I love school and I love the science subjects a lot.
When I came first in these subjects and looking at my work, it was agreed with my family and People First that they sign an agreement allowing me to follow my dream of becoming a veterinary. As a first stage I must get very good marks in science subjects, and others too, in my school leaving examinations and I am working hard. Until my brother and I came to the school not a single person in my family could even read or write. I may not achieve my dream but thanks to you I get to try .
