Smruti Keshav Naik
“My name is Smruti and I live at Aldona. From childhood it was my ambition to become a medical doctor but as I grew up, I came to know that my parents were struggling financially to bring me and my younger brother up. In Std. XI, I applied for and got a scholarship from the ISEAF. I got a very good sponsor Mrs. Isabel Morenza-Springer. I completed my XIIth Science but did not get admission to a medical college. So I did my B.Sc and later M.Sc in botany in Goa University. I passed with good marks and am presently working for St. Xavier’s College, Mapusa as a college lecturer.”
“I am grateful to ISEAF and my sponsor Mrs. Isabel Morenza-Springer for all the help, support and encouragement which I got.
