Ajay aspires to become a doctor and treat poor patients!

Thirteen year old Ajay Kumar is the second child in a family of three brothers and four sisters. Nobody in his father or mother’s generation in the family is literate. Since his parents, Rajo Manjhi and Reshma Devi didn’t have any land in their village of Dhanaul, Sekhpura in Bihar (an Indian state), the family migrated to Kanpur eight years back to find work at brick-kilns or construction sites and have stayed on in Kanpur, ever since then.

Ajay is currently studying in the fourth grade and is doing very well in academics, particularly in Hindi. Ajay is fond of reading poems, playing football and watching movies screened at the “Apna Skool” center at various occasions. His favorite game is ”Andar-Baahar” (in-out). He wants to become a doctor so that he can cure poor patients.
