Sunida loves to play!

Little Sunida’s father, Denis Sircita Monteiro, works at the dock and her mother, Shila, is a housewife. Sunida has one brother as well! The family is poor and struggles to make both ends meet, and they find it very difficult to cope with medical emergencies. Despite their poor economic condition, Sunida’s parents realize the value of a good education, and ensure that she goes to Sahaara’s balwadi every day.

Sahaara’s balwadi has a systematic curriculum wherein children are equipped in the following subjects over the period of a year: English and Hindi: alphabets and poems, writing skills, general knowledge (colours, animals, flowers, personal hygiene etc), colouring, games and activities such as counting and recognition.

Sunida is a live wire who is energetic and lively in class! She is a talkative, cheerful and expressive child. She thoroughly enjoys physical activities like running and hopping. She is sociable and loves sharing her toys with other children.

Thanks to your generous donation, Chuck, Sunida would be able to attend school for an entire year, which will pave the way for a future brighter than the one her family has had.
