Rajkumari loves attending school!
posted April 12, 2011
Fifteen year old Rajkumari lives in the village of Manapur. Her father, Bhagwandas, is a farmer, and her mother, Harviri, is a housewife. Both her parents have no education. Rajkumari has four sisters and two brothers, all of whom live in a two room house. They have no toilet, no hand pump in their home and use the common village pump for water, but they do have an electrical connection. Rajkumari’s main responsibility at home is to wash clothes and utensils and keep the house clean. Her family owns one cow and two buffaloes which provides them with milk and an additional source of income.
Rajkumari is enrolled in grade 9 at the English medium school run by Pardada Pardadi. She is a very smart girl who came 3rd in her class in last year’s exams. Her favorite subject is English and she loves to play games, especially cricket. She loves attending school and spending time with her friends.Like any high schooler, she doesn’t yet know what she wants to do when she finishes school. But, seeing her potential and quest for learning, her teachers are sure that she will achieve great heights with her education.
Pardada Pardadi has chosen to open a school in the area that Rajkumari lives, so that these girls can get an education and be equipped to be employed after they graduate. Supporting them will ensure the success of them.
Thank you so much, Carrie, Vidya, Sophia and Larry (x4), Laurent (x3) and UBS (x3) for funding Rajkumari’s tuition for an entire year! Your support will ensure that she completes her basic education!
Your donation of two sets of school uniforms, Yannick, will ensure that Rajkumari comes to school neatly dressed throughout the school year. Thanks to you, she will also have a pair of school shoes and warm clothes to see her through the winter months.
