Amisha’s and Seema’s

We are pursuing Electronic and Communication engineering from Meera Bai institute of technology. During this course, we got the chance to do an internship of one month at Sanju Bhaiyaa’s Company which is called KING NETWORK. During our Internship period, we got this great opportunity to learn all about Networking. Today, we have a good knowledge in networking and it is definitely going to help us in the future. We are highly grateful to Krishna Sir who gave us his precious time and taught us a lot of valuable lessons. Also, undying gratitude to Learning By Locals because it provided us with a platform to learn different things and connect with different people who are always helping us to achieve our dreams and move forward in life.”

Bithika Sarkar

Meet 17 year old Bithika, a student & a volunteer of Learning by Locals (LBL). Previously, an introvert, Bithika, shares how 3 years of involvement with LBL has changed her into a more outgoing and confident person. She now feels more comfortable interacting with people from various backgrounds and gives credit to LBL for helping her improve her communication skills along with providing her the exposure of meeting new people. When asked why she chose to stay and be a volunteer, she stated, “We don’t have to pay to learn here so we learn and we give back. Hopefully this continues” Bhitika also learnt management skills by organizing events at LBL. One of her fondest memories is of that one time she got to perform at Kamani Auditorium at an event of Manzil, an Youth?Led Learning Center NGO, from LBL. Bithika, who is studying in 12th grade, aspires to be Doctor in future.

Diksha

Diksha embarked on her transformative journey four years ago when she joined LBL as an English student. Her role evolved over time, encompassing volunteering, teaching, and becoming an integral team member at the NGO. Diksha’s life took a monumental turn when she was granted the life-altering opportunity to partake in the ‘Emerge’ fellowship. Here, she honed her English, computer, mathematical, and essential personality skills, propelling her towards self-sufficiency and the ability to support her family out of poverty.
Initially an introvert, LBL served as her guiding light, fostering personal growth, exploration, and an understanding of life’s multifaceted dimensions. As a part of LBL, Diksha not only blossomed into an influential figure but also began sharing her poignant narrative as a child born into challenging economic circumstances. Witnessing profound improvements, she embarked on an enriching internship with Manzil to broaden her horizons.
Today, Diksha aspires to establish a new LBL project named Neev, embodying her unwavering commitment to the social sector and her deep-seated passion for teaching English. Her ambition is to empower those deprived of such opportunities within her community. Mr. Pradeep, her guiding mentor, played an integral role in helping her discern her life’s purpose. Diksha has transcended her earlier identity and is now renowned for her unrelenting diligence, unwavering sincerity, and unimpeachable moral character—a living testament to one of the countless success stories penned by LBL.
