Dr Kiran and her mentees met the Minister Councillor for Education at the Australian High Commission

Here’s some more great news. My mentees and I met with the Minister Councillor for Education at the Australian High Commission along with his entire team. His name is Mathew Johnston. He was absolutely delighted to hear that Tushar and Amritesh are at University of Sydney and UQ respectively. He said it was not going to be long before Amritesh would be able to fly to Brisbane. The young people shared their stories too and he said to them that he too was the first in his family who went to university. He encouraged Mohini as she shared her aspirations to go to Australia in 2022. The internship program in collaboration with Asha will soon begin as well. You might remember that the Australian High Commissioner HE Barry O’Farrell came to Asha in early 2021 to inaugurate Asha’s first High Speed Internet Centre in Mayapuri Slum Community. This Centre was resourced by Australian Friends of Asha. Our partnership with the Australian High Commission is over 25 years old and has resulted in amazing benefits to our students in the slums. It was wonderful to meet them after nearly 18 months.
