A parent's story

My name is Anar Koli and I am 28 years old. My husband, Sumon, died seven years ago. We had two daughters together, Sumuna and Romana, who are 12 and 10 years old, respectively.

After my husband died we moved in with my aging parents. My parents are too old to work, so I am the sole breadwinner for them and my daughters. I am a house cleaner.

With this added responsibility, I was worried about my two daughters' education, especially the tuition fees. Then TNEDC agreed to accept my two daughters into the play group, which made me happy. That took away a lot of my stress and worry, allowing me to focus on my work. My children are now in class five, and they are overjoyed because the school provides them with all the necessary papers, pencils, and educational materials based on the subject taught. They also teach them new dance moves, songs, drawings, and so on every week. Because of the moral lessons taught in school, my daughters have been well-behaved in this slum community. As a result, my daughters and I are grateful to this organization for assisting our family and many others in similar circumstances. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you so much. TNEDC.
