Monika
(Mirpur 12, Dhaka)
Monika can now continue her education with newfound hope and joy, thanks to a generous sponsorship. Her overall educational needs—tuition classes, Arabic lessons, stationery, and other necessities—are being met with the assistance she is getting. Her family has been much relieved of this load. Monika now has the chance to continue her education and follow her aspirations, unlike her siblings, who were forced to leave school because of financial difficulties. Her parents are really glad that they are no longer concerned about how to pay for her education. They now feel more at ease, and Monika can now fully concentrate on her academics without worrying about having to quit because of the sponsorship.
Monika loves going to school. However, her parents are not sure how long they can keep her in school. Monika’s father cannot work because one of his legs is deformed. Her mother sells vegetables to maintain their family of 6. It is almost impossible for her mother to bear the expenses of their family alone. So, Monika’s three siblings had to drop out of school long ago. Monika’s enthusiasm to keep on studying has kept them from doing the same to her. Nonetheless, the increasing expenses are posing a threat to that. Monika shared that if she could get the chance she would want to study longer. A sponsorship would help them a lot to keep Monika in school.
