I am Sanjiv Kumar. I am 13 years old, and was born and brought up in Maharashtra.

Missing my family;

Being the only loving child, my family gave me all the love and care that I needed. My father works as a Coolie for a living. For the past few years, he is suffering from leprosy as a result of which his legs have been mutilated. My Mother too is not able to care for herself as she suffers from mental illness and this makes my family situation very difficult. This is the reason my father admitted me into El shaddai. I understood my family crisis and I now live in one of El Shaddai’s homes. (more…)
