Though his parents have not studied beyond the tenth grade, Hanzala can dream of a stable future with a good education.

Hanzala studies at the Govandi study center run by Sahaara. He is a keen student who has always been eager to attend the study center. He is quiet by nature and his favourite activity is action songs! He knows to recite and write the alphabets well and also recites rhymes like Baa baa black sheep, Humpty Dumpty and hindi rhymes confidently. To any first time visitor, Hanzala’s cheerful nature and skills in reciting rhymes and alphabets belies his background and family’s utter poverty.
