One of Akshaya Patra’s beneficiaries – Sakshi, a student of Std VII in Gujarat, dreams of becoming a teacher. She has a purpose; to teach children and to guide them to a bright future. Being a student, she likes to study all subjects but her favourite is Mathematics. She says, “I look at these problems as challenges, so it is fun to solve them.”
Sakshi, a beneficiary of mid-day meals in Vadodara, is an all-rounder. Her favourite hobby is reading and is inspired by the works of Swami Vivekananda. She says she likes studying, reading and participating in elocution and essay-writing, among other things.
About Akshaya Patra mid-day meals, Sakshi told us that her school gets a variety of meals like dal-chawal, roti, sukhdi, daal-dhokli, subzi and more. She further added that she likes subzi the most because it’s highly nutritious with all the vegetables used. “I like Akshaya Patra because they provide nutritious meals to all the children, especially those who otherwise can’t afford to get food from home or buy from outside. The food is tasty and nutritious. It provides us energy and all the necessary nutrients.” Akshaya Patra is an NGO in Gujarat providing mid-day meals in Vadodara, Ahmedabad and Surat. The organisation is present in 10 other states as well.
After meeting Sakshi, we realized that her dreams are heartfelt. With our support, we are sure she will be able to achieve her dreams one day.
