Ahmed,19
Ahmed is currently
working as a tailor in Dharavi. He learned his skill at his uncle’s factory.
Nobody in his family speaks English, and nobody has been given such an
opportunity to learn, so he is determined to take advantage of this course.
Ahmed would like to go to Dubai, where his brother is already a salesman, and
either set up his own tailoring business, or become a salesman. Ahmed would
like to get a good job so he is able to donate money to the mosque. He hopes
that this money
can help people in his community.
Shahrukh, 18
Sharukh has lived in
Dharavi all his life. He father works as a taxi driver. He is currently
studying in a private college to complete 10th Standard. Sharukh would
eventually like to become a mechanical engineer. This requires a three year
training, which he hopes to undertake in Aligarh. He will need English language
skills to help him secure a good job at the end of the training.
