Mary Alisha . A. HK - 254

I am Mary Alisha. A. D/o P. Arockia Swamy and Christina. I hereby have to come to tell you about my successful life. We are 4 members in the family, my Father, Mother, Brother and Myself. My father works as a daily labourer and mother works as a primary school teacher. The income what they get is very less and it is not enough to meet the family needs. My parents were struggling a lot to provide education to me. My father has hypertension, my mother has diabetes and brother has asthma. So most of their earnings were spent for their health purpose. Eventually my mother also quite her job due to health issues. It was really hard for my father to send the children to School. When I was in 5th STD, I came to know about ASHA Sponsorship program from my Parish. The Parish Priest took effort to join me in ASHA Charitable Trust for the education help. Thus I was enrolled in ASHA Sponsorship Program and because of ASHA I was able to study in St. Mary’s English Medium school and complete my School Life. I passed my 10th STD with 84.9% of Marks.

I did my PUC in Sree Siddaganga Women’s College. I took GOLD MEDAL in firing competition in ALL INDIA THAL SAINIK CAMP in the year 2009 and represented Karnataka and Goa directorate.

Since from my childhood I had a great desire and a dream to become a Doctor. So I joined PCMB in PUC and scored good Marks in 2nd PUC. I wrote CET exam and secured medical seat in the year 2011. Until 2nd PUC I was under ASHA Sponsorship and after that my parents took loan from bank to make me study MBBS. I carried the same values what ASHA Sponsorship program have taught me and worked with dedication and finished MBBS. Now I wanted to study for MS[ POSTGRADUATION] for which I have to join for tuitions and my parents does not have that much money , so I approached again to ASHA Charitable Trust and they have decided to help me for my further studies. Every year I attend Dasara Camp and Summer Camp in ASHA Trust. ASHA Charitable Trust always taught me the good moral values, leadership qualities, discipline and motivated me to participate in cultural events like dance, drama, singing etc.

I am always grateful to my sponsors and ASHA Charitable Trust for giving me such an opportunity in my life to achieve all my goals and dreams. I used to write letters to my sponsors and remember them in my prayers. When I start working, I will also help the poor children who are in need just like the sponsors and ASHA Charitable Trust helped me.

Thanking You,
Mary Alisha. A.
