Ameera wants to become a teacher

Ameera
Dear Ravindra,

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

Nine year old Ameera lives in a slum community in Mumbai, and studies in grade 4 at a local school. She is a vivacious child, who often speaks on behalf of her friends. Ameera loves attending the Read India Library Program, where she is encouraged to pick up whichever books she wants to read. Not only have her reading skills improved, she has developed a love for books and reading, and dreams of becoming a teacher like the ones at the Pratham Learning Centre. Her favorite story is the fable of the monkey and the hat.

Your donations will ensure that Ammera and 34 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 learning well‘.
