Changing Course Of One Life

--by Whoami, posted Dec 12, 2007

Our maid's younger son had just passed school final exam with no capacity to pursue higher education. Before his parents could decide what to do with him he had already found ways to waste his time and energy.

That's when my wife and I suggested we would like to talk to him.

The boy was indeed interested in doing things with his own hands rather than in academics. We found out details of vocational courses and persuaded the father to take the boy to one of the institutes.

The boy immediately fell in love with the course contents of bike repair & maintenance. Part of the fees were given by us to make it more affordable. The youngster is taking lot of interest in the 'hands-on' training and, we are told, is the coach's favorite student.

We are overjoyed that a little guidance, a little support is all that was needed to change the course of the boy's life.

About education, there is no meaning of a person without a job or knowledge. I will also pray for the boy to be a better person and also helpful of the entire community. Thank you for doing that for him. Keep It Up...!!!
