ILSC–New Delhi has taken the initiative to create an educational sponsorship program that enrolls underprivileged and undereducated girls from Delhi into its English classes. The Learn to Earn program has been running for four months now with great success. Below is a letter to the director, Jason Flaming, from Pooja Singh—one of the girls in the program (she is the one in the middle of the picture).

…………………….

Jason sir,

I take this opportunity through this letter which I am writing with the help of a friend.  I want to convey that during the last four months what I have learnt at ILSC I have not learnt in the last 6 years.  First time in my life I left that learning English will be a reality for me one day and not a distant dream.

This is not what it is just because of me but for the following reasons:

1. Ringen who inspired me to start afresh

2. Pamchuila who took real pain for me

3. Isha who took interest in me

4. The company of international students where I left behind my hesitation as everybody was at my level at some point of time or other

5. Healthy learning atmosphere/environment at ILSC, Delhi

6. Last but not the least your able guidance and confidence in me and a challenge within ILSC that an uneducated and never been to school before girl can learn a language and make a place for herself in this competitive world.

Thank you.

Regards,

Pooja Singh
