SUCCESS STORY @ SUHANI SARDI
“GOD TAKES CARE OF MY DREAM -LAKHAN GAMETI”
“Because 11-year-old Lakhan Gameti’s parents cannot afford to buy him a new sweater or shoes, he shivers in class on cold days. When its winters , he sometimes misses school because he does not have any woolen cloth. The shy, thin boy who lives in a tough life of village said he hates missing school, he gets good marks and wants to be a lawyer when he grows up. “I want to do something good with myself,” said Lakhan, who attends a Government School in a village of Udaipur district. “I want to help my father. I don’t want to be in a bad boys gang. I try to study, but it’s hard because I don’t fit in at the time of winters. It’s very hard to study in a bone-breaking cold.
His parents struggle with five children, ages 5 to 13. Sometimes they can afford only one-time dinner. Family members take turns sleeping on the bed and the floor while using old curtains for blankets.
Winter was once again for him in 2016. But this year, he was on his way to dream to be a lawyer because this year he did not miss a single day of school. He had a new sweater to fight with cruel cold.
The next time when I met Lakhan, I asked him, “Little Boy, have you been praying to God for sweater to come in for you?” He giggled shyly, and said in his wonderful mewari accent, “Yes! God answers my prayers. I can never thank God enough because he listened to me and many children like me of my school.
I felt proud to see the happy smile on his face.
I felt proud because I am associated with this Nobel cause.
I am a volunteer of ‘Suhani Sardi Movement’ of Praveen Saini ji.
