Nand Kishor with Anil Masiya(HOPE staff)
Nand Kishor Sain is studying in 8th class. When he was studying in 5th class, after school, he used to work part time at a tea stall in order to assist his family financially. In 2007 his father died and his mother started working as a helper and cook in weddings to support the family of nine members. In the same year his mother met with an accident and broke her spinal cord. She is now unable to work. The desperate situation of the family forced his older brother to work in a shop. After the school Sain goes to the market to work (from 2.30pm to 9:00pm). He gets customers to the dealers and avails of goods at a low rate for those customers. He gets a commission of Rs.1.50 paisa per bag (4 US cents) and makes about US$50 a month.
He cannot read or write simple English words. He enrolled himself in the after school tuition conducted by HOPE. We taught him the English alphabet, the days of the week, months of the year and some of the meaning of frequently used words. He is very eager, sincere, committed and hardworking and stands out among the tuition students. He feels HOPE has really helped him in improving not only his English but also in guiding him with his future.
