In the midst of work as usual, income tax declarations as usual, trips to Pune and back as usual the only different and touching thing that happened to me a couple of days ago was the call I got from Parijat Academy (Assam) founder Uttam Theron. It took 24 days by registered A.D. for my small donation to reach him in Assam. He called to acknowledge it’s receipt and promised to send me photographs of the school children, for whom he was going to buy books from the donation. Sure enough his parcel reached me last Friday and the photographs of the school children were really touching. Yet again, I was impressed by the initiative that Uttam has taken up single handedly. He also sent across a form to sponsor the education of a child. I was pleasantly surprised to know that it costs as little as Rs. 1200 per annum to sponsor a child’s education. This has been a dream of mine for sometime now and I am looking forward to fulfilling it. Uttam has promised to send progress cards of the child I sponsor and I cannot wait to put it up on my white board at work.
