Harshita loves playing baseball

harsita
Harishita  Kumari is a 13 year old girl who lives in the village of Anoopshahar with her parents and three sisters. Her father, Aanand Tomar, is a driver, and her mother, Seema Devi, is a housewife. Since they do not own a house, they live in a rented two room house without electricity, water or sanitation facilities.

Harshita is in grade 8 at the school run by Pardada Pardadi.  Her favorite subject is English and she likes learning vocational work also. Harishita likes to play sports at school, especially baseball.

Unlike many other families, Harshita’s parents are very supportive of her ambitions, and have vowed to do all they can to ensure that Harshita and her sisters get a good education, so they get all the opportunities they themselves were denied in life. Harshita’s ambition is to be a doctor.

She, however, realizes that to become a doctor, it is not enough that she get good grades. She needs to acquire skills that are not easily available to girls from rural backgrounds. She needs to be proficient in the usage of computers, and should be able to speak good English, and conduct herself in an appropriate manner.

Your donations, Margo, Erik (x2), Peter and Kim, Tom (x4), Brooke and Nick (x2), Judith and Steve, will ensure that Harshita gets to practice her skills on the computer every week, and attends spoken English classes. This will go a long way in giving her the tools that would help her succeed in life.

Thank you for your support.
