The Story of Sheshmani

Sheshmani is a nine-year-old boy from a Backward Caste Hindu background.  He is in Grade Three.  He has been studying at the Ramnagar DEC since his Kindergarten days.  The teachers have seen a good transformation in Sheshmani’s life. His family is very poor, so initially, he did not know how to dress properly, take a bath or behave in class.  However, the teachers have worked with him to teach him about proper hygiene, how to pay attention in class, and how to have a good attitude.  Today he can hold a pencil and write, and he has advanced in his personal cleanliness habits.  The teachers say that Sheshmani is a hard worker and is dedicated to his education.  He travels six kilometers every morning to come to school.  They hope to see continued improvement in every area of Sheshmani’s life.
