Hina Makhwana

Age: 10
Address: Parikshit Nagar Slum

Hina is a sweet girl who is simple natured and fun loving. She lives in the slum with her Mother and Father, with 2 brothers and 1 sister. Her Father works as a ‘Choutuk’ (a handyman, when there is work available) and her Mother stays at home cleaning, cooking and preparing for her family. Everyday Hina looks forward to go home and help her mom around the house, and once this is done she goes out to play with her friends. They play games like Kho-Kho and Ram-Sham-Ravin, and she says that they sometimes play for hours! Hina says that her time at Earn N Learn is her favorite part of the day. She loves it because of the opportunities it brings her and the fact that she gets to work and learn with all of her friends. She goes to School in the Gandhi Ashram and works very hard on her studies. Hina really enjoys helping her friends and this is one of the many reasons for her aspiring to be a Doctor when she grows up.
