With  your support only

I am Arti Kumari. I dreamt of going to school and become school teacher in near future. I got enrolled in school but had to drop out from school after my father passed away. I was to drop out of school and join my mothers hand in earning bread and butter for my family. We came to know about NBJKs sponsorship program and approached for help. I was extended a helping hand and today I am enrolled in Chandrakala Devi Daga High school. I am confident that day will come when I will play role of a teacher in this school. There are many students who are interested to study but cannot go to school as their parents cannot afford it. You can educate them by financially supporting them. To support us contact.
