“The results of PHILANTHROPY are always beyond
calculations,” said Miriam Beard.
One such experience struck the Enlightening Lives family at
the ASHAJYOTHI FOUNDATION, JOGIPET. This prodigious two and a half hour journey
to the ASHAJYOTHI FOUNDATION started at 8:30 in the morning and the first thing
we did after reaching there by 11:00 AM, was the donation of clothes.
Clothes were donated to each and every child residing in the
ASHAJYOTHI FOUNDATION, we even took the pleasure in donating clothes to the
workers of the foundation. We were overwhelmed that we could witness the purest
form of happiness in the eyes of those children. They prayed for the growth of
Enlightening Lives which was really a heart-warming gesture.
The most surprising thing was the boldness and talent those
children possessed- they danced, sang along with us in ANTHAKSHARI and more
surprisingly they came up on to the stage and spoke without any fear of mass
gathering. This is something which even a few grown-ups can’t do. For a moment
we felt like we were among some pocket dynamites who could achieve anything
with the amount of intellect they possess.
We are grateful that we were asked to visit the other branch
of the foundation in GAJWEL. Finally, we consider the 15th of March as a day to
be remembered. We hope the prayers from those little hearts get answered so that
our family grows big to serve humanity Forever and Ever!
