original description

Girl Stars was created by Going to School, a non-profit media trust based in New Delhi, India. For more, log on to our website -- www.goingtoschool.com 'Education is the foundation that makes you a strong pillar. Just the way a building cannot stand if the foundation is not firm, without education it is hard to stand tall.' - Sandhya Sherring, Computer Trainer Sandhya Sherring is a computer trainer and she owns her own computer institute where she teaches children to use computers. When Sandhya finished school she could not find a job where she lived, so she went to Delhi in search of more opportunities. But in Delhi, everywhere Sandhya went, she was asked if she knew 'computers'. Sandhya returned home and enrolled in a computer institute, and she learned so fast that soon she began to teach other young people about computers. Sandhya then took a loan and opened her own institute in the same town where earlier she had thought there were no opportunities. Sandhya is 23 years old and her institute is in Babina village, a cantonment area in Jhansi district, Uttar Pradesh.
