Priyanka Loves Using Computers at School!

Seventeen year old Priyanka hails from the village of Fatehpur. Her father, Omvir, is a farmer and her mother, Rukmani, is a housewife. Priyanka has one older brother and one younger brother and her whole family lives in a two room house that has no electricity but a hand pump for water and a toilet. They have three buffaloes which are used for milk and labor, giving them an additional source of income.

Priyanka is enrolled in grade 9 at the English medium school run by Pardada Pardadi. She loves attending school and especially the vocational and computers skills class. She also loves her English class and is often seeing practicing her language skills with volunteers in her school. For a girl whose home doesn’t have electricity, having the opportunity to use a computer is very exciting. When Priyanka graduates, she would like to study to become a doctor in Anupshahr.

Your generous donation, Brigid, will enable Pardada Pardadi to provide a set of two school uniforms, a sweater, a pair of shoes and socks that will last her an entire academic year.

Your generous donations, Erika, Jigna, Ioana & Radu, James ( x 3), Anup and Neil (x 5), will ensure that Priyanka is trained in embroidery for an entire year. Which she may not take it up as a career after graduating from school, this would definitely help Priyanka earn money to supplement the family income.

Thank you so much, for your support of Priyanka!
