I have an extremely special relationship with Kashmir because no matter where life takes me, Jammu & Kashmir will always be my home. I am a Kashmiri, born and brought up in Jammu. I have seen that education still remains a distant dream for many children here, especially those belonging to tribal communities. I was inspired by THE- SARA’s efforts of making education more accessible for underprivileged children in Jammu & Kashmir. Through this campaign, they are helping displaced kids from tribal and border regions by bringing joy to their lives in the form of colourful storybooks. I am delighted and honoured to contribute to this wonderful cause. Storybooks encourage children to dream and the beauty of stories is that they can be super realistic or incredibly fantastical. When I look back at my childhood, my favourite storybooks were Panchatantra, Jataka tales and Amar Chitra Katha. It was an exciting break from my regular life. They allow readers to indulge in fantasy for a while and visit new worlds. I hope children find similar joy while reading. To celebrate my birthday, I would like your support to help me raise funds to donate Pratham Books storybooks for underprivileged tribal kids in Jammu and Kashmir and help THE-SARA’s crowdfunding campaign.
