Vivek Kumar from Jahangirpuri, Delhi
Age: 14

“I quit studying when I was in Class 6 because my mother fell ill. I was about 10-11 years old then, I started working in houses as a domestic help to earn money and support my family. I have started going to school again now, as my mother has recovered. I want to become a teacher when I grow up.”
