Sharuk (name changed) was a construction labourer. He was forced to go to work leaving his primary education as his father fell sick and could not earn. Being the first son, he took over his father's role and started earning. Later he was identified by the special school teacher of New Life. She counselled and convinced Sharuk and his family to continue his education. He joined the child labour special school and admitted to regular school in the 6th standard.
Sharuk is a good student. He scored 81% in the 10th public exam and was selected to get education support from New Life. He scored 62% in his higher secondary education and got admission for doing Undergraduate in Commerce.
"Thanks to New Life and donors who support me for studying. I am getting the education support for the fourth year, which motivates me to continue my studies. Many girls and boys in my village are also getting support. Thank you," says Sharuk. When asked what is his aim in life, he says with determination, "I want to become a soldier".
Dear Donors, kindly continue to support us in helping children like Sharuk to continue their studies. Only with your support, their dreams are coming true. Make their world brighter by spreading words about the project to your friends and relatives.
Thank you once again for your support.
