Rani’s parents are keen that she be educated
posted February 12, 2012
Rani has 4 brothers and 2 sisters, and her nine member family has been coming to work in the Kalra Brick kilns in Kanpur, UP for the last three years. Her native place is in the Navada district, Bihar, and the family shuttles between the two locations every year. All her siblings work in theh brick kilns, and Rani is required to do all the house work, including cooking for the family.
Rani is fortunate to be a part of Apna Skool for three years since her parents, Karu and Geeta have made it a point to return to Kalra kilns( where the education centre is operational) every year during the period October to June. This also ensures in maintaining a minimal level of continuity in her education. Although her progress has been slow due to the fact that she is deprived of school education when she goes back to her village, she is nevertheless keen on gaining as much as she can from the Apna Skool experience.
After being in Apna Skool, she wears clean clothes, which she washes everyday herself. She aspires to be a teacher and would like to teach children in her village.
Thank you, Julie, for donating a set of two school uniforms to Rani.
Thank you, Sterling and Melinda, Elizabeth and Rao for coming together to donate an entire year of comprehensive medical care to Rani.
Thank you, Bri, for donating a year of study materials to Rani.
Thank you, Sumeet, for donating a year of lunches to Rani.
