INF helps Rajendra

Rajendra BK, 8, is from a very poor family. His father works as a cycle rickshaw driver and his mother works as an unskilled day labourer. Neither of them has much time to think about education for Rajendra and his brother and sister. Rajendra's parents found paid work for him, looking after cattle. However, when a non-formal education class started near Rajendra's home, organised by an INF partner organisation, Rajendra became involved. All the other children in his class watched and listened to Rajendra and learned from his example. Rajendra's mother was so surprised to discover what he was capable of that she changed her mind about education. Now Rajendra's parents are keen to find out what they can do to support the education of all their children.
