As you all know that Hermit India is working for underprivileged children and organizes awareness programs at orphan houses, we often come across several astonishing cases. I am going to share one of them with you. One of my colleague, Poulomi met a young girl named Tammna during one of our projects at Arya Kanya Sadan, an orphan house. Tammna was a 4 year old girl living with other inmates at Arya Kanya Sadan.
The most significant thing about her that is making me write a blog on her was the fact that “she was not an orphan living in an orphanage”.
She had a family in the nearby village of Uttar Pradesh; her father works in the nearby factory and is able to earn meagre amount for livelihood. She had a brother named Love. As she was an ambitious girl she was here to study, so that she could be a teacher.
The most remarkable thing about her was that at the age of four she knew her purpose in life. It was a clear sense of irony for us, though we are mature enough but still many of us are not clear about our purposes in life.
She misses Love bhaiyya.
But she likes being at AKS too. She gets good food and a sweater every year as a birthday present and she is contented with it.
