It is almost 1 am in the morning but I must write this immediately or else I will lose the fervour and joy of the moment. I met a very old friend today and sat with him for a few drinks. We were chatting about all the old times and he asked me about the various activities that I was involved in.
I mentioned to him about the documentation factory, the metallic yarn factory and the Yepre school. The conversation veered towards the need for plastering of the walls and my struggle to collect funds, when he suddenly said "DONE! You don't need to look any further. I will take care of the plastering!"
He and two of his friends apparently have this corpus that they use for philanthrophic activities and they have been doing this for other institutions like orphanages and schools.
I was dumbstruck. Truly. Here I was, struggling for the last several months to collect the funds for the plastering and in one night itself it was all done! My friend has requested me not to mention any names and thus this contribution will appear as 'Anonymous' in our Progress Report page.
I thanked him with amazement in my eyes, came out, looked at the sky and smiled. Thank you! |
