"The purpose of education is to make good human beings with skill and expertise. Enlightened human beings can be created by teachers." - Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam.
Minsarin, 12, lives with her parents and two siblings in the slum pocket of Sector 52 in Gurugram. Her father works as a rag picker, and her mother as a domestic helper. Many years back, her family migrated from Bengal to Gurugram in search of lively hood. She used to go to the village school to study, but after migration, she had to leave the school.
After arriving in Gurugram, she was always looking for an opportunity to study but could not succeed. Besides being unaware of the importance of education, her parents didn't have any supporting documents necessary for her formal schooling. So, Minsarin always remained sad, which concerned her mother. Minsarin was always eager to find out ways to study. One day, she came across Raju, a boy in her neighborhood, carrying books for informal schooling at Education on Wheels. She asked him about his teaching and learned more about the program, which prompted her parents to approach the EoW team. Minsarin not only got enrolled in the EoW program but excelled in academics as well as in yoga and dance.
Minsarin gained much confidence to be a fast learner and self-dependent. Currently, she is studying in the EoW remedial class, and very soon, she will appear in the open basic examination (OBE) for the academic session 2022-2023. She considers her teachers her role model and aims to be a teacher. Minsarin's parents are thankful for Sukarya's Education on Wheels program and vouch for this program to be a blessing in disguise for urban slum kids.
