Utsav Makwana



Age: 13

Address: Ranip Slum

The first time I visited Earn N' Learn, it was Utsav who patiently taught me how to make a gift bag, the best way to apply glue to the folds, and the most eye-pleasing way to finish the product. He has become a professional in the crafts and is extremely friendly and generous with everyone in his life. His father works in Security. With only one family member earning, Earn N’ Learn has allowed him to attend school and contribute to the family. School is Utsav’s favorite part of the day and he really values his education. He is a naturally clever child and has often helped me translate to the rest of the children, even though he knows only little English himself. He loves to play Cricket on Sundays with all the kids in the neighborhood and has recently taken up Marbles as a favorite pass time. His future is so bright and it is thanks to Earn N Learn that he has had a chance to realize this for himself :)
