Kunal wants to become an engineer

Kunal
Dear Devdas, Donna, Jagdish and Dinisha, Rekha, Chitra, and Mona,

Thank you for ensuring that Kunal, and 34 other children like him are enrolled in Pratham’s Read India program for a year.

Ten year old Kunal lives in a slum comminity in Mumbai and is a student of grade 6 in a local school. Kunal loves following sports, and his favourite spectator sport is racing. Kunal wants to become an engineer when he grows up, and his parents support him in his ambition. Since he still cannot read and write fluently in Marathi, he is enrolled in a remedial Summer Camp organised as a part of Pratham’s Read India program, and in a few weeks, he is expected to graduate to reading entire stories.

Your donations will ensure that Kunal and 34 other children like him 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‘.
