Hi,
B N Kumar sir and PRCI:
Thank you so much for the award from
PRCI-YCC, presented during the Pune Conclave.
After receiving the award from the chief
guest Mr. Kumar Ketkar at Symbiosis Vishwabhavan, on 10th march 2018, I
developed confidence and started my work
with full enthusiasm on my dream project to start a pre-school for the children
below the age group of 8 years
i.e from lower KG TO 2ND standard.
This project is for for those kids
whose parents keep migrating from one place to another and due to the lack of
documents they do not get admission in any other government/private school.
Therefore, the agenda of this free
school is to provide basic education as well as a the school leaving
certificate. The Shiksha Foundation with which I have been associated for few
years already has the permission to run a school till 4th class.
But a major problem that we faced each
and every time was place for the school premises which meant lot of funds which
we do not have.

On receiving the YCC award, my
confidence levels doubled and I was inspired to work on the school project with
added vigour!, I also used the award in support of my dream project. All that I
needed was an inspiration and new drive which, sir, I got from PRCI-YCC.
Thank you so much BNK sir and PRCI.
While promoting the project, I met a Mr.
Sudhakar Kamath who ffully understood the concept and expressed his readiness
to give 4,000 sq ft to run the school at Palghar-Manor on the putskirts of
Mumbai, that too on a lease of just Rs. 10/-
He has also promised to fulfill all
the requirements by October 2018.
It is the stepping stone towards realising
dream and I have no words to express my appreciation to the encouragement that
I received from PRCI-YCC.
With your and PRCI’s blessings, I am
sure, we will succeed in providing basic, quality education to the children of
migrant labour.
Thank You So Much Sir
Regards
NITIGNYA WAGHELA
