But still, my family means everything to me.
I am Sanjiv Kumar. I am 13 years old, and was born and brought up in
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.
Togetherness is Happiness;
I sometimes visit my father and I enquire about his health and I pray everyday for him. I wish to go home for my Holidays but …………. God will make a way !. I am given the necessary help and support, but still my family means everything to me. I do miss my family and I wish we could live together. I remember the happy days with my family. But now I am not alone. I have many friends and I have learnt to adjust. But I know God has a plan for me and some day I will realize it.
School & Hobbies;
I go to school in grade I, and have got the opportunity for a brighter future. I have adjusted very well with my new friends’ support and the care given by the staff. I also thank El shaddai for giving me another chance in my life.
I like to draw, make cards, I sing and tell Stories. El shaddai has taught me to be confident and focus my life for a good future. They make me really responsible. Sometimes when I am free I like to help others and make new friends. My father always encouraged me to study hard and become someone in life. I aspire to be a Doctor. During the rains I play and enjoy indoor Games.
My Dear Sponsor;
My sponsors came to see me and they took a lot of pictures. They made me feel like I was their own Son and I felt very happy. This was the Happiest day of my life. I offered them water to drink and they gave me a gift of a football. I feel so good when I think of these moments.
Happy Childhood ……
I can’t imagine how my happy childhood days are being spent and I thank all the thoughtful people who Care and think about me. I want to help more children who miss their families and don’t enjoy their childhood days. I pray for my staff who take good care of me. God bless them all…
