You can of course add something to it.

One day, a UNICEF officer came to her village. He learnt about the conditions of the local people. He wanted all the children to learn to read.

Now ,Mandeep enters a school every day. She can read and write. She enjoys school and is grateful to UNICEF for helping her.

In the future, she hopes to become a teacher. She also hopes to work for UNICEF when she grows up.
