Sidhu is a young 22-year old Indian who was educated in the TARA Homes NGO (www.taraindia.org) after having spent most of his youth in the Street as a family-less child. He never knew his mother and left a drunk and violent father at the age of 6. He was then left by himself until TARA hosted him on a permanent basis at the age of 14.

Despite this difficult childhood, he was able to catch up with basic education and to complete a full bachelor in political science at Delhi University. He also studied French during his week-ends and his energy allowed him to surmount the early difficulties. He is now working as a junior journalist in the Delhi office of a French television company, France 2. His dream is to acquire the competences necessary to make his career in investigative journalism in order to raise awareness about the situation of poor people is his country. His conviction is that one should never accept one’s destiny without fighting and that individual initiatives are very powerful ways to change one’s life.

He has now been selected for a two-weeks life-changing young leader program organized by WYSE-NGO (www.wyse-ngo.org) in Brazil from January 6th to January 17th, 2017. Part of the registration fee will be covered by a bursary. But he has no resources and his current salary income does not even cover his basic living expenses, let alone the possibility for him to attend such a program. As one of his main sponsors, I have been impressed by his achievements and very engaging personality and believe that helping him is very worthwhile. This is why I have prepared this page and decided to mobilize support to help him raise the funds necessary to take part in the program and pay for his flight ticket from India to Brazil.

PLEASE SUPPORT SIDHU AND HELP HIM SHAPE HIS LIFE.
