Name K. Pethanan.
Place, date of birth June 6th, 1988, Aiothpatti.
I visit the Gandi Nikathan higher secondary school in T. Kalupatti
My father is a farmer.
I want to become a doctor to supply free medicines to poor people.
I come to IFC to learn English, which I will need if I want to be a doctor and
to change my social behavior pattern
Because I come from a small village, my social behavior is more like a farmer’s
boy, which will not be very acceptable in the bigger world outside my village.
In India it is very important to speak respectfully to all which is not common
among tribal villages.
I want to improve my communication skills more suiting to the rest of India I am
learning that here.
I like to be here because I enjoy the contact with the other kids here better.
Whenever I have exams, I will only come here to support the others in cleaning
the kitchen when it is my turn to help.
I have 1 brother, Sanmutea 13 years old and 1 sister Sellamal, 10 years old.
I would like to change how my fellow villagers think, be more active in changing
their own lives rather than to sit and wait. I would like to clean my
surrounding and help my fellow villagers to keep it clean. At the present moment
our village is far from being clean. I would like that everybody will have some
form of education.
I like playing cricket, volleyball and badminton.
Note. K. Pethanan's parents can pay his way, and all that we can do is support him in change the way he interacts with people.
