Dear Friends,
Greetings from Seva Mandir!
Hope you are well. I like to introduce myself to you. I am Atul Lekhra. I have joined Seva Mandir early this year and I will now be communicating with you through these project reports. I am glad to be a part of this program and look forward to talking to you about all these wonderful projects you are supporting.
Today I want to share with you story of Joshi Lal from Kham village.
Joshi Lal, 10 years old boy lives in Kham village of Kotra Block. He always wished to be in school, especially seeing his friends attending one. His inability to hear and speak held him back, though he had registered his desire with his father many times. His father never felt encouraged as he wasn’t sure if anyone in the government school would be able to deal with a child with special needs, nor he had the resources to support his son’s education. One day Joshi Lal couldn’t hold himself back and went to a Seva Mandir supported Shiksha Kendra (SK) in Dhana hamlet, 5 kms from his house. He got himself enrolled and started attending it regularly. Though in the beginning the instructor had difficulties in communicating with Joshi, through actions and gestures he eventually began to communicate with Joshi. Slowly Joshi Lal learnt how to write and began to solve simple addition and subtraction problems. Being at SK is the best time of the day for Joshi. He plays games (Sitoliya a traditional Indian game) with his friends. Besides his regular attendance, Joshi also made sure that his two brothers also come to the centre regularly. The loving relationship between the instructor and Joshi is an evidence of the joyful environment Seva Mandir’s SKs are creating in their classes.
Much of this success is also due to your untiring support. It is a great partnership and we hope to continue having you by our side. We really appreciate the trust you have shown in us. Please do let us know if you have any questions.
Thank you again.
Atul Lekhra.
