I am Sholly D’cunha from Vamanjoor. Since my parents were finding difficult to support the education, I was enrolled for sponsorship through Dharma Jyothi Social Centre when I was in 10th grade. My sponsors were Nys – Luc from Belgium. Their kind support and constant encouragement through letters gave me and family much hope that I could complete my education. In the year 2015 I have completed Masters in Science and presently working as a Lecturer in St. Aloysius Pre-University College. I am grateful to my sponsor, Joy for kids - Belgium and Dharma Jyothi Social Centre for being there for us in our difficult time and guiding me to hope for a bright future.
