A teacher with the Hindustani Covenant Church (HCC) made it a point to meet with A regularly and tried to convince him to come to their non-formal education center.\u00a0 Initially he showed no interest, but one day he came to the center out of curiosity.\u00a0 He saw some of his village friends also coming to the center, and he liked the way the material was taught. He continued coming to the center.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was very interested in his classes and was a good student. After almost five months of going to the center, he wanted to join a formal school again.\u00a0 This was of course a great thing, but the challenge was to raise money for school fees. \u00a0HCC staff approached a local leader who had already supported few children of the village to get tuition for the school.\u00a0 The local leader happily agreed to give financial support to A\u2019s formal education.<\/p>\n
A is now regularly going to school, and is very happy about it. His mother also expresses her thankfulness for this amazing change that has taken place in her son\u2019s life<\/p>\n
