At Unnati (a non formal study group for underprivileged children taken up by resident ladies) we take pride in empowering underprivileged students to reach their full potential. Chhaya, one such student, has made us proud with her remarkable journey.During the pandemic, Chhaya enrolled in our online spoken English classes conducted by Ms. Megha Sharma, an NRI based in Australia. Megha Ma’am’s guidance not only improved Chhaya’s language skills but also instilled confidence and a desire to work.After completing the classes, Chhaya pursued a short-term course, determined to secure a respectable job. Her hard work paid off when she joined an eatery as a cashier, a position she has held for nearly a year now.On Karva Chauth, I, Unnati’s founder, visited an eatery with my kids. To my pleasant surprise, Chhaya was behind the counter, radiating confidence in her uniform. Her and entire staff’s gesture of refusing payment for my kids’ order touched my heart. Chhaya’s story exemplifies the power of education, mentorship, and determination. We salute Megha Ma’am’s contribution to Chhaya’s growth and the eatery for providing opportunities to deserving individuals.
