KESHAV<br />

Everything seemed to come to halt for this young and talented boy of<br />

10 years, when his father, the only bread earner passed away. Life was<br />

tough and even more challenging for this young boy who deep inside<br />

him had so much hope and determination to step out into this world<br />

one day to become someone and make himself and his family proud,<br />

he always believed there was so much in store for him too. He was<br />

studious and had passion for music.<br />

Keshav’s dreams have come to the spotlight when ‘The Vidya Foundation’ spotted him<br />

and had supported him throughout his academic journey. Today, Keshav is a proud BA<br />

graduate from Delhi University with first division. Keshav by now has not only achieved<br />

success academically but has also learned to play the guitar with confidence and truly<br />

enjoys his passion. Today his education and music have earned him a good and decent<br />

job to support himself and his family, he now works at British High Commission and goes<br />

out to teach guitar on weekends. Keshav today has not kept any limit in achieving ones<br />

dream, when asked about what he will do in future to come he said with a thankful heart,<br />

“since I have been raised and supported I would also in full gratitude devote my free time<br />

to teaching English and music to the under privileged to help them achieve their dreams.<br />

KOMAL<br />

Life was never easy for Komal, who lacked even the basic amenities in<br />

her childhood. The eldest of four children, Komal has two younger<br />

sisters and a brother. While her father was jobless, it was her mother<br />

who strived day and night to provide for her family. Komal was given<br />

classes by The Vidya Foundation and her hard work bore fruit when<br />

she stood first in her school in the 10th and in the 12th..<br />

She attended classes at The Vidya Foundation for English and Computers after enrolling in<br />

“Mission Education to Employment” and along with this, she was also given one-on-one<br />

sessions to encourage her. She was recently hired by the Embassy of Switzerland. Komal<br />

stands out as a role model to people who are going through tough times but have the<br />

determination to overcome these and work hard to fulfil their dreams. We are proud of<br />

her and very happy about her achievements. We wish her all the best for her future.<br />
