I, Saroj Sonkar, offer my heartfelt prayers for your association CWEF and wish you may give

financial aid to all helpless students. This would give them strength to stand on their own feet. The

financial assistance enabled me to pass Intermediate examination from Central Hindu Girls School,

Kamachha in 2013 and got admitted for Social Science B.A. 1st Year (Honours) in Basant

Mahavidyalaya, Kamachha, Varanasi, [Affiliated with Banaras Hindu University (B.H.U.)]) in 2013.

Objective: Education is very important for me. I am interested in higher education, so I can stand on

my feet. I want to see that my mother’s dream come true, who being helpless raised us with great

difficulties. My aim for higher education is to do Ph.D. and become a qualified teacher, so that I can

teach the students and at the same time I can raise my level too.

Role Model: For me the first Role Model is my mother, who in spite of all difficulties, inspired me and

encouraged me so that I go ahead in life and make my place in Society. Every person who helps the

helpless is a Role Model for me.

Struggle of my Mother: We sisters were 4 Years, 2 Years and 6 month old when our father died. Since

then my mother’s life has been full of difficulties. To raise us she has done all kinds of odd jobs in our

neighbourhood-like cooking, cleaning dishes and cleaning the houses. She is also very weak

physically. She had three operations on her stomach. She is not educated but to educate us she

works very hard day and night without caring about the weather. To fulfil our goals she is under

financial debt. For our sake she does not show her miseries and does not let us feel sad. She faces all

the difficulties very boldly herself.

Letter from Saroj Sonkar

…..I had never imagined that I could study further. Thanks to CWEF, I am

perusing my studies… Jasveer

…My mother and all family members appreciate the assistance provided by

CWEF. I want to become a person like CWEF donor, who could help others in

need….Poonam

….You will be glad to know that I scored 72% marks in the high school final. I

hope that your affection, blessings and assistance will available in future…

Your daughter

Bhawna

….I have no words to express gratitude…Isha..

While none of my relatives could provide any help, I got assistance from your

organization to whom I am a stranger…
