Haribol, I hope I will be able to keep this communication going, actually I really need it for myself, it is a place where I can dump my frustrations and hopefully joy as well.
Yesterday at the kitchri distribution we saw a little girl of maybe 8 months in bad shape, she had scabies all over her tini body, she was coughing very alarmingly and more.
We patiently convinced the girl who was carrying the baby to come to our school the next morning and we will give medicine as well as milk etc..
So this morning she came, our Doc and a devotee visiting gave her a bath, a massage with oil in the winter sun, new dress, milk, food and what not. at around noon the mother came, she was a woman or better say a girl of no more than 16 or 17 years.
She said i have to take my daughter, we tried hard to convince her that she should stay in school until 2:30 and then you could come and take her home, and again bring her back the next day and so on.
She could not really understand the benefit of what we were offering to her fragile daughter, so she took her away.
I told to myself that this is her karma and what can you do? There are so many other little children out there, so please do not get mental and hold on to this one, maybe she will come back another time.
