My thoughts are sort of in line with GK's n Sravan's. We can only identify a genuine case of interest in pursuing education further n encourage n support it. We cannot really make her go on with her education further n further and not restrain herself to a family life tomorrow or something such. Facets n situations in life can change/influence so many decisions. Personally I would be equally satisfied...if this girl with the education we support will gain abilities to groom n be able to teach/tutor her kids in future. I do however see the point that Prasanthi is looking into though. But...who knows...this support of ours might encourage her to keep going in future wherever possible.
Habits...well...we cannot predict or control those. We can only educate her to choose whats good n best. Giving money only that is needed..and not into her hands...is indeed a good way to curb that extra liberty that usually is the culprit. Also we are paying for her fees...we are not giving pocket money or something. And if she stays at home n not a hostel or something...well..half of the troubles that can arise are taken care of. Parents need to be in the picture all the time. Sum1 has to meet n talk with them. I donot see it in terms of adopting a child. You support her education for a year..and like sravan said...clearly tell her ahead that the financial support will continue based on her grades. Tht will keep her on the go. About the Girl who lives in Slums: I personally donot encourage anything that has to do with reservations. Yes...I agree with prasanthi..that she can encourage her to give her entrance the coming year again and get a better rank....and then we can see. -Divya *********************************************************************--- In [email protected], raghu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Dear Gopi, > > The points what you have mentioned are valid.
