It was my third visit to Balgram. As expected, the visit brought immense joy and satisfaction.
The attitude of the kids is wonderful, and the energy they exuberate helped me overcome the mental fatigue that has been haunting me for sometime.
There were a lot of new faces yesterday. The director of National Assiciation of the Blind (NAB), Ms Gaynor, joined us. Also, Vikram got his friends from office who organised the movie and the drawing competition thereafter. It is encouraging to see more people join us regularly.
The discussion that we had with Gadhke Sir was really amazing. The amount of work he has done in the past 12 years is commendable indeed.
Raj asked Sir if we could contribute in any way for the growth of the kids and if there were any financial challenges. Sir immediately declined, saying people come and contribute regularly and there were no problems on that front. His statement meant a lot to me. There are so many organizations today that welcome funds even when they dont need them.
Sir's own kids live and study with the rest of the kids. There is absolutely no difference amongst them.
The fact that Sir has got many of the girls married to good families over the past couple of years is remarkable. It rebuild my faith that the future of the kids is in good hands.
Looking forward for my next trip to Balgram.
