Now aged 19 years, Pooja recalls how it started for her, “I was first introduced to books when I attended a learning centre run by World Vision India which was very exciting and new for me. Later they helped me enrol in a government school. Initially it was very challenging to go to school as my parents were not supportive and we were all engaged in rag picking to earn a living. But with constant support and counselling from World Vision India, things started changing and now we are much aware of many things including the importance of education.” • Pooja is now the only one, among eight of her siblings, who is studying. Her parents have agreed to stop sending her for rag picking as long as she pursues education.

DONATE FOR EDUCATION • She was first one to be enrolled in a government school near her place in Shadipur area but after the demolition, her family had to shift to the transit camp, which posed a challenge for her to continue going to school because of the distance. However, Pooja was determined to continue and managed to complete eighth standard. When she was in the ninth standard, she could not attend regularly due to an illness and the long distance commuting challenge. Finally, she had to drop out of school. • Education is the key to many opportunities and the door to success.
