Sandhya Sherring is a computer trainer and she owns her own computer institute where she teaches children about computers. Sandhya dropped out of school when her father lost his job. Her father opened a small framing shop using her mother's sari as a make-shift roof and her mother took a job as a teacher to ensure that Sandhya and her brother could complete their education. The "Girl Stars" project includes this series of films documenting the stories of girls from the most disadvantaged communities across five northern states of India who, through attaining education, have managed to break the shackles of socio-economic constraints and make successful, self-sufficient lives for themselves. These young women have become role models in their communities and beyond, inspiring girls to go to school and continue their education.
