When daughters made their mothers proud

My daughter Mamta has changed a lot after joining OSCAR. Besides playing football, she is equally focused in her studies.

Her behaviour at home has also changed. I feel that she is more patient and understands things. The best part is that Mamta has realised herself that she has to develop and improve herself to have a better future. She equally distributes her time between playing, studies and helping me with my daily chores.

I want to thank OSCAR Foundation for supporting Mamta and selecting her for the OSCAR International UK Schools Tour 2018. We never thought that someone from our family would achieve something like this. Mamta feels very happy and confident because of this. After the tour she has been taking constant efforts to give her best in everything that she does. Looking at her we feel very happy and proud that our girl is walking on the right path.

Kiran Prajapati (40) is a housewife and helps her husband to look after their grocery store as well.

The day when I got know Priya has got selected for the DANA Cup, I was on the seventh heaven. I will actually watch my girl travel to Denmark! What else could a mother want? Everyone cannot do such things and I feel blessed that I have daughters who are so special. Even our relatives who questioned me when I decided to support my girls to play football, now say it was the best decision. I want to thank OSCAR for supporting us and for everything that they have done for my kids and for all the kids.

I had a dream. I wanted both my girls to travel to a foreign country and achieve something big in life.

Jyoti Rathod works as a housemaid and lives in the Ambedkar Nagar community in Mumbai. She wants to watch her girls achieve success in life. She has two daughters Priya and Preeti who are part of OSCAR’s Football Programme. Her youngest daughter Priya Rathod (14) will be travelling toDenmark to participate in Dana Cup in July 2019.
