About

Profile

Alansika Boursiquot is five years old, but instead of going to school, she stays at home because her family cannot afford to pay school fees.

Alansika is a very nice girl living around a pre-school, but since her parents can't afford tuition, she stays at home. But since Alansika really wants to go to school, each day, she sits on the wall outside of the small kindergarten so that she can catch the teacher's lessons.

Next year, she won't be able to go to the top elementary school because she missed the year prior of preschool. As a result of the structure of the system, missing one year of school can negatively impact her for life.

While other kids her age are in school working with their teacher, Alansika sits on the outside of the school walls. Sometimes she plays on the playground, but more than anything, she wants to go to school too!
