Menaka
I am Menaka. I am from Pallakulam in Vilathikulam block. I have two younger brothers. My parents are Mr. Palpandi and Mrs. Padmavathi. As there was no school nearby in our village, I had to work in a brick kiln along with my parents, at the age of seven. When I worked in a brick kiln, I was identified by Sr Punitha an NGO in Vilathikulam and admitted in NCLP Vilathikulam in 2002. When I comlpleted Std V, I was admitted in Alloysius Girls HSS (DISE Co:33280101906), Thoothukudi in 2005. I scored 316 and 828 in X and XII respectively. After the successful completion of my schooling, I completed my B.A., Degree in English at MS University College Nagalapuram. Then I did my professional course B.Ed., in Chandy College of Education, Thoothukudi. Now, I am working as a warden in RSTC,Vilathikulam.
I am very grateful to NCLP,Vilathikulam and NGO, Power Healee Trust, Vilathikulam. If I had not been identified at the right time, I would have spent my life like other laborer’s in a brick kiln. Thank you.
