Meet Iccha

Ichha’s Story

Ichha is a daughter of a very poor family. She also has two older brothers. Her father, Manoj, works as a junk dealer and her mother, Aarti, works as a utensils hawker. The condition of her family is not well as her father is a drunkard. Due to which, there are many fights in the house. And sometimes he would beat his wife and children in drunken state. Ichha's mother is also not well. And they live in a rented cottage near their Grandmother's house.

Ichha has been attending one of the Project Help centres regularly for the past six months. She is very good in studies and also very punctual. She also has a habit of helping others. Iccha is 7 years old and she also attends studying in class 2 at the local Government Primary School. Her favourite subjects are maths and Hindi. She also likes to sing. 

Ichha loves to attend the Project Help Centre. She learns a lot of new things here. What she learns certainly extends the poor quality of education received at her local school where she does not learn English. One of the things that she now learned is to greet everyone with a "good morning" which is very delightful to hear.

Iccha’s parents are greatly indebted to Project Help, saying that they teach such good habits and given her greater confidence. They are very thankful to Project Help India and they say they pray for the directors and teacher’s family that they may always be happy.
