About:
My name is Annika. I am 14 years old and in Grade 9 at ISH.
During this pandemic, we have realized how flawed our education system is, just because people don't have enough money doesn't mean that their kids shouldn't get a good education. Most of their parents are daily wage earners meaning they live by the day, their first concern is putting food on the table so getting their kid's education is unheard of. We take most things for granted whereas these children don't have anything. Just because a pandemic occurred and it isn't safe to be in classrooms doesn't mean that their education gets put on pause.
So while we are sitting in our safe homes and living a life full of luxuries, we need to help them. We know that Coronavirus isn't just going to go away in the next couple of weeks we will likely be battling this disease for 3 - 6 months( or even longer), during that time we want these kids to get an education. These students don't have access to a smartphone, laptop, or internet. Which means that they cant attend any of the online classes. There is a dire need for these devices. It's astonishing how much INR 14500 can affect an underprivileged student. Help me bridge this digital divide and ensure that no one is left behind as everything shifts online.
