Story from the field

Bhumika and many other girls who lives in village Barauli, Block Baldeo, Distt. Mathura, UP and their childhood was spent in a housechores, caring for her younger siblings. Her father Bhima is a daily wage earner and at times takes her along with him to fields to earn extra money. PES invited Bhumika for education in BDP School alongwith other girls of her age like Saloni, Jyoti, Chitresh, Divya etc. Bhumika getting value added education from last 4 years, instead of working in fields as child labour and saved from other abuses which are common with village children. At present she is in class VI and is doing extremely well in studies and in other vocational training programs like tailoring, stitching and handicrafts. She is good in music and takes parts in inter school debating programs. She is a good orator. She has the plans to acquire higher education with teaching diploma to become a teacher in her present school itself to teach all other girls from rural less privilege community whose parent's priority is not education but to send them in fields to earn money to supplement for their families. She is of the high opinion that by getting value added education such girls can earn more money after using their skills and training given in BDP School to their students. Today Bhima is proud that his daughter Bhumika goes to BDP School instead working as child labour. His community feels that she will work for their community development
