Introducing:-

My self-Chandan Jena, KG-2, age-5+, studying at Kalidaspur School for last 3 years. My father( Ghanashyam Jena) is a daily labor that is looking after our daily bread and due to sickness of my father my mother( Chandramani Jena) works as a maidservant in the peoples house to maintain our family. We are staying temporary in a cottage house on the government land.

Due to the poverty I was staying in our house and helping to my mother when some of my friends who are rich goes to the other schools. My parent never expect for my schooling because we are struggling for daily bread and medical expenses for my father.

One evening our Kalidaspur school madam visited to our house and asked to my mother about my schooling. My mother replied as we are the poor people and it is difficult to provide all the school expenses. I was anxious if I will get a chance to go to the school like all my friends.

Our madam asked to my mother to sent me the school tomorrow onwards and she assured to help for my study. It was surprising to me and us.

I thank you all for helping me for free education in your English medium school at Kalidaspur. Though it was a daydream for my Parents and to me. Because all your help and the love of our madam it is true to me and I am enjoying the schooling life in your school other wise I should be appoint as a child labors.

All my regards and thanks to you and St Luke School Students for your great help for my free Education. Also pray to you to continue your help for my study and for my friends at Kalidaspur School too. I believe all your help like me will help to many poor students to start schooling and will built there future from your free education helping school.

Lots of Thanks to you for all your great help and Care for my free Education.

With Regards and thanks to you and Love to all at St Luke School Students
