Hello Donors.

Best wishes for christmas and new year.

Arpita is a student who had got benefit of bicycle and books for the study under the education support programme by Gram Vikas Trust.

She is coming from Tribal community and having very low income at her family as her father is working as farmer and mother is a housewife. The village called “Padal” almost 25 km from Jhagadia block and around 47 km away from Bharuch district. The village is having primary school up to 8^th class and after completing primary school she got admission in Diwan Dhanji Shah High School Jhagadia as there is no nearby highschool. She faced the problem of going to school hence she has to walk almost 5 km every day to catch the bus, sometime she missed the bus and have to stay at home by walking back 5 km to home. She was not able concentrate on study because of long distance walking as she got tired of walking and not able to do homework other hand she has to help mother for house work. She was almost neglecting going to school but there was happy news came to her that she got bicycle when she was studying in 9^th class. She was too much happy with this gift other hand her friends also got bicycle which is motivated to her for going school with friends. Parents also feel safe to send the girls in school as they go and come with their friends.

The gift has made her successful as she used to go to school every day with friends even she had no bunk single class. She used to reach on time and easily get the bus form Vakhatpara, started concentrate on study and regular doing homework and even she always helps her mother at home as she come on time to home. She is so happy with Gram Vikas Trust for such support providing useful help for such family.

She is in 11th standard now, in few months her examination will come, she is working hard for the best result she can get.
