It's been a while that I wanted to do something worthwhile whit my
life... to help someone in need... provide support, in any form, without
expecting any returns....
The realization came long time back when I
started volunteering at a nearby Blind School. I had to take out only
1-2 hours every week and help read a book to one of the blind students
there. She was preparing for her college exams. I would read the books
to her, one by one, and she would record it on her tape recorder to
listen to it later. I was amazed by her zest for life and the
unbelievable speed with which she would understand difficult concepts.
The
impact, even though small, that I had on her education made me realize
how valuable I can be to someone who is in dire need, without even
trying real hard. I was not expecting anything in return from her. I
have been blessed with good family, good education and a great life. I
felt that this could be my way to give back.
