My story through pictures: Sapna Singh

Contributed by Kathryn North and Sapna Singh from ILSC New Delhi

Sapna 1

ILSC-New Delhi’s Learn to Earn (LTE) program provides English and job skills training to help underprivileged young Indian women expand their opportunities for future success.

This is the story of Sapna Singh who dreams of becoming a politician in India. Sapna recognizes the hurdles that she must overcome to reach her goal and feels there may be many within her community who may not support her due to her social background, but she is ready to win their respect. Sapna sees the LTE Program as her “one chance to remove her shortcomings.” Sanpa’s LTE scholarship is sponsored by Watson Goepel LLP.

Here is a snapshot of her story so far:

My teacher

“This is teacher Mamta. She taught me last month. She is very helpful. She always corrects me in a positive way. She is a very lovely person. On the last day of the session, we gifted her flowers. She really liked it a lot.”

Reading

“Mallika Mam started new class called Library. In my new class we started a library. We chose our favorite books. This is my friends’ picture and I am also there. I took this picture because I really like it. We all like reading books.”

“This is my favorite festival’s photo. We celebrated Diwali first time at ILSC. We had too much sweets and a lot of food on Diwali. I clicked many photos at Diwali.”

Family
