Education

Sahil is 11 years old, but unlike most children his age, he doesn't carry a school bag or wear a uniform. His classroom is the narrow street outside his small home, and his lessons come from watching others live a life he only dreams of.Sahil's parents are daily wage laborers. His father works at construction sites when work is available, and his mother takes up cleaning jobs in nearby homes. Despite their hard work from dawn to dusk, they barely earn enough to feed the family. Education is a distant dream—something they wish they could give Sahil but simply cannot afford.Every morning, Sahil watches other children rush to school with laughter and lunchboxes. He stands by the door, barefoot, holding a tattered notebook someone once gave him. Sometimes, he copies the alphabets on the ground with a stick, hoping to keep learning—just a little, in his own way.Sahil wants to go to school. He wants to become someone who can change his family's life. But for now, he's waiting—not for miracles, but for someone to believe in him, to give him a chance.
