Before HELP came and taught literacy in my village, I had no hope and wrote a poem expressing this, but now I no longer want to write that poem. I did not get a chance to study in my childhood. I was the oldest child in my family and needed to care for the livestock. I had to do all household work. My hands and feet were always sore and bleeding due to all this work. I could not eat food because of it. Later, I had little brothers and sisters. Again I had to care for them and bathe and wash all their clothes. In this way, I spent my childhood working. Now, I can read and write, and help my children with homework - I have hope. I can read the newspaper and the signboards at the marketplace. I can use a cell phone. I can understand the calendar and do simple mathematics. This education helped me in my goat and cattle raising. I know about the environment and how to keep surroundings sanitary. I learned about vegetable farming and applied the things I learned in my kitchen garden. All these things are possible due to literacy class. I had knew nothing before literacy class. Now, I am literate and my eyes are open.
