Her mother is a warm-hearted hardworking lady who is mostly active on their small plot of land or on the land of large-scale farmers. She supports the education of her children and believes it will give them a better future as she herself has deep experience how it is to struggle to survive. Shilpi: I live in Manikpur village. Before my house was a hut, now it is made of bricks. I study at Loka International in class three. After completing my education, I want to be a Mathematics teacher at Loka and give my family and many other children a better future.
