Lost both my parents to AIDS, and now I need your help in starting a new life.

My name is Sharon Tina Cyril Aiman and I am 21 years old. I am from a city called Karkala in Karnataka, India.

I was 3 years old when I lost both my parents to AIDS. My father had undergone a nose surgery and he was transfused with infected blood. The virus then spread to my mom and by the time I learned how to talk, I had lost both my parents.

I was then brought up my paternal Uncle, but they had adopted me just so that they had someone to do all the household work. I studied till Standard 8th, after that I had to leave the school because my Uncle was not ready to pay my fees, even though I wanted to study more.

I no longer live with my Uncle's family, as the torture was too much to bear. I am now trying to start a new life by continuing my education and buying a camera which will help me earn for my expenses. I always wanted to learn photography, but I couldn't because of my financial limitations.

All the money donated to me will help me continue my education and I will be able to go to college. I will also be buying a camera which will help me with my expenses.

Thank you once again for all your help.

I will keep all of you posted about my progress. And I have uploaded some of the pictures that I clicked on a borrowed camera. Hope you all will like it.
