Turn back the pages, and Rahul’s laughter was a rare sound—his early childhood lived in the margins of Mumbai’s red-light district. His mother, trapped in the sex trade, feared for her son’s future. He was sullen and withdrawn, prone to fighting neighborhood boys, and skipping school while she worked. She saw him becoming a casualty of his circumstances.
Through your gifts, Rahul was provided with safety, education, and the care that every child deserves. At first, he was combative and rife with anger but slowly as his teachers, counselors, and caretakers took the time to talk to him – he softened.
