A great change to Mandeep
Mandeep is a girl from India. She used to work on the farm all day. Her family had many children and was very poor, so she did not go to school and could not read or write. She really wanted to change but what could she do?
One day, a UNICEF officer came to Mandeep's village and learnt about the conditions of the local people. He said it was important for children to receive education. He wanted all the children in the village to learn to read.
Three weeks later, Mandeep entered a local primary school. Now she goes to school every day and she can read and write. She enjoys school and is grateful to UNICEF.
UNICEF totally changed Mandeep's life. Now she usually reads for her families. She says that she hopes to become a teacher and help more poor children in the future.
