Shikhor Roy: Spirited, Playful, and Guided by Courage
Shikhor Roy is a lively 9-year-old boy from Rangpur in northern Bangladesh. Always on the move, he enjoys playing with balls and running around with friends. He feels happiest wearing his favourite red shirt and trousers, and simple treats like noodles and eggs bring him comfort and joy. His cheerful energy and laughter light up his surroundings.
Shikhor lives with his parents in a close-knit household supported by a very modest income from daily labour. Life can be challenging, but his family shares a strong bond and places importance on care, routine, and learning. At home, Shikhor is encouraged to stay hopeful and curious, even when resources are limited.
Shikhor dreams of becoming a police officer so he can protect others and stand up for justice. Sponsorship can help him stay in school, access learning materials, and grow in a supportive environment. With steady encouragement and opportunity, Shikhor can continue building confidence and values that support a positive future for himself and his community.
