MATTER of LUCK
Srivyal | 22 April 2008, 6:53amLast week, a lady visited Sphoorti to find out if she could admit her children here in the coming months. Hers was a very moving story. Her husband physically harassed her for years and one fine day deserted her for good. She has three children, two sons and a daughter. The youngest son is mentally retarded and has been placed in Sri Vidhya Center for Special Children (www.srividhya.org). She wanted to admit the elder children here.
After cross-checking with Sri Vidhya’s Director Mrs. Shanti Venkat, we agreed and assured the lady that the children can stay at Sphoorti starting May.
Each time I encounter such people whose lives are full of grief and despair, I realize that it’s just a MATTER of LUCK that I am NOT an orphan, NOT a destitute, NOT illiterate, NOT a physically NOR a mentally challenged person.
These PRIVILEGES are meant to be shared with our not-so-privileged brethren. And we hope SPHOORTI (www.sphoorti.org) could be your platform to do so.
