Age: 10
Address: Dandipour Slum
Poonam has a serious little face and talks to us with great care, almost as if making sure to say the correct things. She is very clever and studies in the 5th standard at a local Municipal School. At school she enjoys reading and meeting her friends, and it is her favorite part of the day. Poonam has a younger brother and an older sister, and they live in a small slum dwelling with their Mother and Father. Her Father is employed in Iron-Construction and his income alone is not enough to send Poonam and her siblings to school. This is why all 3 of them are involved in the Earn N Learn Project. Poonam is grateful for her time at Earn N Learn and loves to learn the many creative skills that she picks up there. She is not sure what she wants to do when she is grown up, and even though her parents tell her to become a Doctor, she is determined to work this one out for herself.
