Thank you for sharing this Sai. This is really amazing and an example of how a life can be transformed with education. All we need is little financial support to the needy. Today aco supporters / sponsors made this possible.
We had faced so many challenges during our education (Myself, Gurava & Swarna). I remember my father and mother's struggles to have us educated in a reasonable school / college. They sacrificed everything to make sure we are properly educated. My father knew education is the only weapon that could save us from the poverty. In that perspective, he is a fortune teller. Not only he knew, he was sure. Nothing else mattered to my parents, they worked in the fields for a minimum wage, they borrowed money from families, friends to pay our fees. We also made sure we get all the help we can through scholarships. Gurava almost completed his entire education with minimum support from my parents (Almost everything on scholarships). I did my schooling in a boarding school where government took care of everything. Every penny mattered to us. The emotion attached to these things sometimes make my eyes wet. There is so much we can do in this world but we can't do everything. But we can do little things that need kind heart and good understanding. What we think is very little, that matters a lot to someone. When be bring those little things together, transformation happens. This is the base on which aco was born (
http://www.acoindia.org). We never expect anything in return and it doesn't matter to us (We just do what is needed - The rest happens). We supported 100's of kids but we never expect everyone to achieve great things. What matters to us, is that, being able to pacify their pain and financial struggles in someway with the help of aco supporters and sponsors. That's how aco operates. We want every deserved kid cross the bridge of financial struggles and we are doing what we can. If you think you can, you are right!
I would like to thank all aco supporters for making such things possible. Aco is just a bridge supported by sponsors (its pillars). This is the victory of every aco sponsor.
Thanks again.
