VIMUKTI transformed my life….

“I am Mallaya, the son of Mr. Eranna and Mrs. Huchamma from Markamdeni village of Manvi taluka. I was a student of fifth std., eight years ago. I was forced to leave the school because my younger brother was suffering from mental disorders and hence there was no one to look after him. However, I had a lot of desire for regular studies but I could not fulfill it due to poverty and lack of personnel at home. But now though I am not a regular student at school, I feel satisfied that my quest for education is being met by Vimukti which renders free coaching classes in the evening from 4.30 to 5.30 every day. Now I am able to read and write again. When I look at the society today, there are many children like me who are deprived of the right to basic education. I appeal to the government agencies and the NGO’s to come forward to help them and illumine their lives.

I am deeply indebted to the Vimukti, Mr. Charles and teacher Gowramma and the staff who supported and motivated me. I am thrilled to say that even though I am a 5th std. school dropout, and had forgotten the alphabets, now once again I have learnt how to read and write. I am proud of myself. My aspiration is to take care of my beloved parents and to live a good life.
