Priya loves watching tennis matches

Sixteen year old Priya is studying in grade 12 at the JS Girls’ Intermediate College in the village of Shiwpur in eastern Uttar Pradesh in India. She is majoring in Arts.

Her father, Shailendra,  is a farmer and her mother, Usha Singh,  is a housewife . They live in the village of Bareri in the Jaunpur District of eastern U.P. She has two brothers – Kishan and Abhishek. Her grandparents Amla Shankar and Gangajali Devi also live with her.

Priya loves to watch tennis matches on TV, and hopes that someday she will get a chance to play the game herself. She is ambitious, and wants to join the civil services after graduating from college.

Thank you, Kelly, for enabling Priya to continue her studies for an entire year.
