Baljeet Kaur

My name is Baljeet Kaur. I am an international student in Melbourne I came from north part of India which is called Punjab. In India, I have completed my master degree in Economics and Hindi and bachelor of education from Punjab University. I have 2 and half year experience as a teacher . In 2008, I was married.  I want to change in my life so I decided to come to Australia and doing community welfare.  Here I faced a lot of difficulties in starting. I gave birth to my son but due to expensive child care I send back my son to my country.  I got experience in PINARC Support Services which is for disabled children and doing placement in VIRWC where I learn a lot of thing especially for international students. My future plan is continue my profession as a teacher and get back my son here.
