Farima knows every lane and by-lane in her village

Dear Marc, Anup, George, Henry, Susan and James, Dean and Julie, and Trish,

Nine year old Farima is in grade 4 in the local village school in the village of Theroth in Meerut district, Uttar Pradesh. She has an inbuilt navigation system in her brain, and knows every lane, by-lane and short cut in her village.

Farima was enrolled at the Read India program, because despite being in grade 4, all she could do was to recognize numbers and the letters of the alphabet. In a few weeks, she has learnt simple addition, and not only can she read words, she has graduated to reading simple paragraphs.

When she is not out exploring her village, she loves to help her mother in the kitchen, and she dreams of becoming a teacher and helping others like her.

Your donation, Marc, Anup (x2), George (x6), Henry (x8), Susan and James, Dean and Julie, and Trish, would ensure that Farima, and 19 other children like her are enrolled in Pratham’s Read India program where they are provided need-based instruction in reading, writing and basic arithmetic to bring them to the literacy levels expected of children their age.

Thank you, for doing your bit to ensure that ‘every child in India is in school and doing well‘.
