Sonali, a former child laborer in India, gets extra coaching from Prema, a volunteer who teaches at a World Vision transitional center.

"When I started coming to the center, I felt strange and uncomfortable; I was scared,” says Sonali. Now it’s like a second home where she gets help with her studies. With encouragement from the center staff, she’s enrolled in regular school. She’s a successful fifth grade student.

“I am happy that I am not working and going to school now," says Sonali.
