The story of a helpless student……
Today I will talk about one of my helpless students. Her name is Lucky. Her father’s name is Akhlaq. Mother’s name is Late: Sahela. They are 1 brother and 1 sister. She is older. She is a Muslim and a Behari. She is a student of class/grade 5 and receiving coaching services at PITC Learning Center in the area adjacent to Syedpur Islambagh Chini Mosque Rasulpur. She lives in the railway land near the Islamabad Chini Mosque. Her brother is also a student of grade/class 3 and has been getting coaching services from this Learning Center.
Lucky’s class roll is 07. Her younger brother works in a factory. Lucky’s father is alive physically but he doesn’t take care of them. Even when their mother was alive he took care of them very little and provided very little support to them but after their mother’s death he hasn’t seen them at all specially for at least from one year. At present Lucky and her brother live in grandmother’s(Nani’s) house. Their grandmother has been working in another house and somehow mitigating the family expenditure that that income is not enough and sufficient for them, not even able to bear the cost of their education. They are living in a very deplorable condition. In a word they are extremely poor.
Her grandmother has a stone in her kidney but could not have the operation due to lack of money. Besides this their grandmother needs to take medicine which requires 400 taka per day. Lucky is not very talented but very interested and comes to our learning center regularly. Considering the family and survival problems, Lucky did not want to read before. Lucky is going good in school and in our learning center and improving everyday. Lucky wants to be a teacher, wants to continue the education of her brother anyhow and wants to make him a real human being. I pray that God will fulfill the hope of her mind.
