We are delighted through our current donations we are able to sponsor a further 2 girls to go to school. They are sisters: Nandani, who is 8 years old and Rajnandani who is 7 years old.
Nandani studies in the 2nd year and Rajnandani studies in the 1st year; they are both attending Sagar Public School in Prithvipura, an area in Jodhpur close to where they live. Their parents are labourers, which is very hard work and earns little money.
It is early days at school but already Nandani feels she would like to work in the Police Department because she says she wants to catch thieves and those people who behave badly. At the moment she enjoys her new adventure at school and her favourite subject is Hindi.
Rajnandani says she would like to become a doctor because she wants to help poor people. She enjoys studying, dancing, playing and ‘travelling’ (getting out of her living quarters and travelling to school etc…). Her favourite subject is English.
Sambhali’s Scholarship Programme has been going for 9 years and last year there were 192 children being sponsored last year including 22 girls in Sambhali’s own Boarding Home in Jodhpur.
1st to 5th class 107 children.
6th to 8th class 36 children.
9th to 10th Class 24 children.
11th to 12th class 13 children.
In College 12 children.
Here are a few examples of the older students:
Monica and Deeksha have completed their computer course in Computer Concepts; Monica and Deeksha together with Aman have also finished their studies in Hotel Management and are now in their final year for their BA. Monica is also now working as Assistant Manager at Durag Niwas Guest House and assists with administrative work for the Sambhali Scholarship Programme.
Reena is in her final year of competing a B.A.
Poonam has finished her studies at school and she is now preparing for her pre-medical entrance test. This exam is taken to assess whether the student has the ability to study to become a nurse or a doctor. Her sister Chandrika is going to work at Sambhali as a Hindi tutor earn money to make sure that Poonam does not get financial problems to become a doctor or a nurse. It is very expensive to take on a medical career in India. Chandrika is also studying for a B Ed to become a professional teacher herself.
Shashikala finished her school studies and now she is studying at college on a computer course.
