Diya continues with her education

Five year old Diya lives with her uncle, aunt and three cousins in a small house in Mumbai. Her parents are separated. Her mother has remarried and her father lives in a village. Since her parents were unable to care for her, Diya was adopted by her aunt and uncle when she was a baby. She has grown to be very attached to them and is cared for in their home.

Diya is a student in the Pre Primary Section of a municipal school supported by Aseema. She now attends school for longer hours since she will soon be joining Standard I. Diya takes a lot of pride in this and attends school regularly. She is gentle with other children and very fond of her teachers. She participates actively in all class activities and works with patience.

Diya likes tracing sandpaper letters and is making a sincere attempt to learn English. She also enjoys working with the bead material that helps her learn math concepts. This year, she and her classmates went on a field trip to a local park. Diya was most excited about the snails that she saw in the park and made beautiful drawings of them.

Thank you for your support, Anita, Abhay, Mudit, Save Love Give, and Mufazal. Your support gives a child from an urban slum like Diya the opportunity to continue with her education.
