Author's Note

What do you aspire to do? Ask people. Me: I want to earn from a job in which I can give something back to the society. Once someone had told me, if you really want to help someone, do something for him for which he cannot pays you back.

As an individual, I never believed in the idea of people tossing a penny into the laps of a road side beggar. The society needs to come up with something more constructive or may be more permanent. But the question is what? I found my answer in imparting education to the poor, empowering them to fulfill their stomachs for the rest of their lives.

This is what Mr.Rajesh Kumar Sharma is doing. He is a middle aged man with a meager income earned from his small store in Mayur Vihar. What has made me salute this man is his spirit and tenacity to educate the underprivileged. This project of mine has given me an opportunity to be in touch with kids whose spirits are sky and smile contagious. They taught me that you may have born underprivileged but you can certainly die enriched.
