Zavelu comes from a small village in the Phek Distict of Nagaland. She is the eldest daughter of Mr. Puruda and Vevopralu and has younger four brothers and three yonger sisters. Being the eldest sister, she discontinues her studies after completing class 10th, as she was not interested to study any further and help her family instead.

Life in the village is not only cooking three meals a day but also a lot of other household chores which keeps a girl busy whole day. Most of the time Zauelu was staying idly at home after all the household chores was done. As an elder sister she had to make a choice, as staying idle at home was not getting her anywhere closer to help her family financially. One day, she got the know about the skill training programmes offered by Don Bosco Tech, during a mobilization camp in her village. At first, she was not willing to join as she is like a mother to her younger siblings who was taking responsibility of looking after them. The bond she has with her siblings was holding her back and made her worried to leave home. As a young girl she was confused to decide for herself. But after the faculties of Don Bosco Tech met her and her parents they shared about the training programme and how she can build her future after successfully completing her training. Zavelu was inspired by the success stories of the students the faculties shared with her and decided to join a 3 months training programme in Assistant Beauty Therapist from Bosco Tech, AIDA Centre in the year 2016.

In the beginning of her training she was very shy. But as the time passed by she learnt and improved herself in all the dimensions. She improved her personality and communication skills. She learnt all the required skills of a beauty therapist. She also learnt computing skills. She was very happy as she could see herself improving in every aspect of her life.

After successfully completing her course She got selected as Assistant beauty therapist in Eden Spa in Bengaluru. She was happy with the job she got. It has been four years she is working with the same company, which is also her first job. Recently Eden spa has changed to Lever Ayush and she is happy that she will get to learnt Ayurveda treatments and therapies which is in high demand in the beauty industry today.

She expressed “Don Bosco Tech has given me a new life. I could imagine what I would be doing in the village, Have I not join this training?”. She is very grateful to Don Bosco Tech for helping her to get job. She shared that she is looking after all her siblings who are still studying at schools. She also purchased household items with her own savings.

Ms. Malini Reddy, owner of Lever Ayush said” I am happy with Zavelu’s performance. She is working with us for 4 years and I found her to be very honest and dedicated in her duties”.
