“My Birthday Wish: Every Nari Kuravar Girls Should Return to School and Learn”

On my birthday, I chose to give a different kind of gift — the gift of education. I personally visited Arivoli Nagar several times to meet girls from the Nari Kuravar community and encourage them to return to school regularly. I distributed lunch boxes, soap and shampoo to the children as a gesture of care and support. I told them that my birthday gift would be their presence at school, their education and their bright future. As an educator and Headmistress, I believe that every girl deserves access to education, dignity, care and equal opportunities. This initiative is a small step towards bringing children back to school, strengthening their confidence and ensuring that no girl is left behind in education. “Your presence at school is the best birthday gift I could receive.” — Mrs. N.
