Abhishek Sharma grew up in Delhi in a family that migrated from Bihar in search of better opportunities. His father, a skilled carpenter, always believed that education would be the key to breaking the cycle of struggle—something he wanted for his children, even if it had been out of reach for himself.

When Abhishek joined Sunaayy Foundation three years ago, he was a shy, soft-spoken student who found academic subjects like Maths and Hindi overwhelming. Though enrolled at a government boys’ school, it was at Sunaayy where he truly began to thrive. The difference lay in the way teachers connected with him—with patience, encouragement, and methods that made learning both fun and accessible.

With time, Abhishek’s confidence grew—not just in academics but in how he expressed himself. Through activities like group storytelling, role-plays, and regular classroom interactions, he slowly overcame his fear of public speaking. Today, he proudly takes part in discussions and isn’t afraid to share his thoughts in front of his peers.

As a Class 10 student, Abhishek is now focused on pursuing commerce and dreams of a future in finance. But he often speaks of something even bigger—his desire to come back to Sunaayy one day as a mentor or teacher.

“I want to help more children like me,” he says, “because this is the place that changed everything for me.”

His story is a powerful reminder of what happens when education meets empathy. For children from underserved communities, places like Sunaayy are not just learning centers—they are spaces of possibility, where dreams are nurtured, and confidence is built one day at a time.

Abhishek’s journey reflects what Sunaayy Foundation stands for: empowering children with tools to learn, grow, and shape a future that once felt distant—but is now well within reach.
