Background

Sonia's father earns approximately Rs100($2 approx) per day. She belongs to schedule caste(lower caste) family. According to the principal of the school, she is the most intelligent student in her class. Another student , Ranjit Kaur, has similar background. Her father is a laborer. Unfortunately, he is also an alcoholic. She has failed her last year that's why most of the teachers questioned me on her selection.

All of the six students are in between these two categories. They all represent similar backgrounds but they all have different aspirations. Someone want to be a teacher, where other wants to be an Army man. Irrespective of their backgrounds, financial, family problems they all share one thing- a dream to be something in life. Now my job is to enable them to find resources and use them to make their dreams come true. The most important resource I believe is the information and the only tool these kids have is the internet. The first week is dedicated to interaction so as to gain their trust and get comfortable with them. More information on the project will be available in coming posts.
