"My name is Roshni. I am in the sixth grade. Recently, my father passed away, and my mother works very hard as a laborer to support our family. Our financial situation is not stable. Despite the challenges, I have a great passion for learning. I want to receive a higher education and secure a good-paying job to support my mother. Thanks to the Raise India Foundation, I have the opportunity to pursue my education here, where I not only study academic subjects but also engage in sports, yoga, and various activities.

Moreover, I receive a moral education which is invaluable. The teachers here show me a lot of love and support. I am provided with essential items like bags, notebooks, pens, uniforms, and shoes. Every festival and occasion is celebrated with great enthusiasm, and we are treated to delicious treats like pastries, burgers, samosas, and juice. The support I received here has helped me pursue my education and has made a significant difference in my life."

My name is Chandni, and I'm in the fourth grade. My dad works as a laborer, and we have always faced financial difficulties. He can't afford to send me to school, but I want to educate myself and help my family later on by becoming an engineer.

Luckily, when I was in second grade, my parents enrolled me in the Raise India Foundation's Shikshalya. It was a big change for me. Here, I get to learn for free and also get extra help with my studies after school.

I love going to Shikshalya because it's not just about studying. I've made friends, learned new skills, and had lots of fun during festivals. It's made my dream of becoming an engineer feel possible, and I'm grateful for that."

Hello, my name is Raju, and I'm in the fourth grade. I attend a local government school in Najafgarh, Delhi. My brother is my role model; he sparked my interest in computers. But my father works as a daily wage laborer, and sometimes it's tough for us to even have two meals a day, so we can't afford private lessons. Our school doesn't offer computer classes either. Fortunately, for the past two years, I've been part of the Raise India Foundation.

Here, we are given computer classes for free, and they are my favorite part of the day. I dream of becoming skilled in computers one day. The projector makes learning fun, and here we not only learn subjects but also important life skills. We have interactive sessions, play educational games, and even practice yoga. Being here feels like home, and I'm grateful for their support on my journey ahead.

I'm Bhagyashali, currently in the fifth grade. My father sells sweets for a living. When we left our village, I faced rejection from every school I applied to, and affording a private education was out of the question. My grandparents, with their traditional mindset, suggested I leave school and focus on learning skills like cooking and stitching, meant to prepare me for marriage someday. But my journey took a different turn when I found the Raise India Foundation.

Over the past two years, I've not only learned reading and writing here but also yoga and practical skills like computer basics. Through regular PTMs, sessions, and workshops, my family's perspective on education is changing. They've become more supportive, and now my father dreams of me becoming a doctor or a teacher one day.

Raise India Foundation has been a lifeline for me, nurturing my passion for social welfare and human development."

My name is Manvi and I am a student in the sixth grade. My father drives a rikshaw and our family often struggles to make ends meet with me and my sister both being very young and eager to learn. For the past two years, the Raise India Foundation has been a beacon of hope for us.

Through their support, education has become possible for us. Alongside regular studies, what I truly love is our Shikshalya family. My favorite memories are of celebrating my birthday surrounded by friends here. Now, it's become a tradition to mark all occasions with them.

We often go on picnics, but it's the yoga sessions that I cherish the most. They not only keep me fit but also help me find inner peace. Being part of this community has helped me grow, not just academically, but as a person. I've made friends who feel like family, and together, we navigate life's challenges with a smile.

I'm Chintu, currently studying in sixth grade. My father works as a laborer, and after the COVID-19 situation hit, life became tough for us. We moved from our village to Delhi, hoping for a better life, but things didn't go as planned. I couldn't find a school willing to enroll me, and it seemed like I might have to give up on my education and start working alongside my father to support our family.

Just when things were looking bleak, our neighbor told us about the Raise India Foundation. It was like a ray of hope in our darkest times. My parents brought me here, and now, I'm not just studying but also learning skills that ignite my passion. Every day spent here fills me with determination. I dream of becoming an educated lawyer one day, to support my family and advocate for the rights of people like us.

Being part of the Raise India Foundation feels like discovering a new path in life. I'm incredibly grateful to them for giving me this opportunity to chase my dreams.
