Priyanka is a really smart girl

Story 7 - Priyanka Rathod
Four year old, Priyanka Virendra Rathod hails from Ambedkar Nagar, Colaba, one of the innumerable poverty-stricken slum pockets in Mumbai. Her father, Virendra Suresh Rathod, works at the dock and her mother, Karita, also works at the dock. She has one brother as well. Though her parents have not studied beyond the tenth grade, Priyanka can dream of a stable future with a good education.

Priyanka studies at the Colaba study center run by Sahaara. She is a keen student who has always been eager to attend the study center. She is a smart student who has good grasping and recall skills. She knows numbers 1-10 and the alphabets as well. She is a sweet child who is sociable and loves to share things with other children. She also enjoys reading and writing exercises. To any first time visitor, Priyanka’s cheerful nature and skills in reciting numbers and alphabets belies her background and family’s utter poverty.

Your generous donation, Vineet, will enable Sahaara to provide a year of pre-primary education to Priyanka. Thank you so much for gifting a dream to a vulnerable slum child like Priyanka, thereby paving the way to a self-reliant and brighter future!
