Laxmi Digambar Naik, 12, goes
to Manekji Gazder School and is in
class 7. She has been in Akanksha
for 4 years. She is also part of Akanksha's
art and drama class.
Laxmi comes from the Khar danda community.
She lives with her parents, grandmother,
and two brothers. Both her brothers
go to Akanksha as well. Her mother
is a housewife and her father is a
wireman.
Didi says Laxmi has a very strong
education foundation. She understands
and picks up things very quickly.
She is an extremely bright, confident
child. She understands her values
and respects everybody around her.
She enjoys herself in class and this
is evident because she is very punctual
and regular. She was upset because
there was a change in the timing in
her school and that would affect her
attendance. She has also been selected
for the beyond school program, and
is attending the Learning to Lead
summer batch.
Laxmi always remembers the day when
Didi took the class Essel World. She
enjoyed that day and a favourite part
was the caterpillar ride. At first
she was excited about it, then when
the ride started, she got scared,
but by the time it was over, she wanted
to be on it again. Her proudest moment
was that when she had 100% attendance
at her center during the month of
July. Prachi didi called her in front
of the entire class and everyone started
clapping for her. She sings and daces
well and she had played the lead role
in the play, "The Wizard of Oz"
