Rachna wants to be a computer engineer

Rachna is a 11 year old from the village of  Bachikhera in Uttar Pradesh, India. Her father, Premshankar, is a  farmer and her mother is a house wife. She has one sister and two brothers.

Rachna studies in Grade 6 at the school run by Pardada Pardadi. Her favorite class is English and she likes learning vocational work also.  After she finishes school, Rachna would like to become a computer engineer.

Coming from the kind of background that she does, Rachna, suffers from many social and economic handicaps. Thanks to your donations, Akiko and John (x11) Rachna will have a computer lesson and a class on spoken English once a week for an entire year. She will also go through personality development workshops, which will ensure that she can hold her own among better educated girls.

Rachna is thankful to you, Carys, for donating a set of two school uniforms, winter clothes and footwear to her. She loves school, but being able to wear her pretty green and white clothes is an added incentive for her to go to school.

Thank you Akiko, John and Carys, for helping Rachna hold onto her dreams of becoming an engineer.
