A happy day
A happy day for me. I was working off and on with Aruna Tella who was in charge of Swadh Greh in Ongole looking after distressed women for several years. About six years ago we had one more of those cases ( about 1500 such women passed through the centre in Ongole) of women in trouble with her husband who came with two children. I knew about Heal Paradise school through my cousin Gadde Babu Rajendra Prasad who used to contribute 90 percent of his pension to the school and went there a few times to teach mathematics. We suggested sending the children to that school and they were accepted. Then a bureaucrat in charge for A.P government intervened saying that only children from Krishna District were eligible for entry in the school though the school was meant for all Indians. Then Aruna intervened and urged the people in charge of the school to fight. The authorities gave in. Today in a video call Aruna showed me the children. They are in classes 9 and 10 now. The mother has a job, earning twenty thousand rupees a month. They all looked healthy and happy. Meanwhile, the school has become a college and they can finish their degrees from there. Kudos to Aruna and Heal Paradise.
