Far from school (student Story)

My Name is Gul Ghutai D/O Ghulam Sarwar We are belong to a very poor family in Kama District, We are from Kama but we don’t have any land or house in Kama district, my father is working on farmlands on other people’s land and they also provide us one or 2 labor rooms, and some time he works in constructions as daily worker.

Almost 5 years a go I went to my uncles home with my parents located in the warasai Faqeer village of the Kama District and I meet with my cousin "Khoshbo", she was a student in Darman Primary school and she showed me her books and homework and asked about me…I told to her ”in our village there is no school" she told me that I must came to school in her village…..I told to my parents but my parents weren’t agreed with me , because they were afraid of that the distance is long for me and Security is not good anything can happen, I cried a lot and then I told to my uncle, after awhile my uncle find a land for work in Warasai Faqeer village and told to my father “here in this village you are working in other person’s land, I found a piece of land in our village with a labor house Please come here and shift your house, from one side we will be near and from other side your children will study in our Darman school” My father was acknowledged about my enthusiasm about school, so he agreed and we shifted our house here in this Warasai Faqeer village, Now I am studying in 4^th class and my one brother is in class 3 and another brother in class 2 so; we are lucky and very happy for that although we are poor but we can acquire educations here in Darman School.

My father saying my children are going to become educated and our life will change.

Sincerely yours
