This evening at Kitchri distribution I saw a girl of maybe 6 years of age, she was sitting with the other kids waiting for the kitchri. She was crying and holding her left leg, very restlessly, our nurse had put a band around her leg, I asked the nurse what was wrong and she said that she has been hit by a motorcycle, immediately I did not register what was going on, but as few more minutes passes, the girl contined to lament and hold her leg. I went up to her and I asked if she had some brother or sister there with her, or her parents, she was alone, she could not even tell me her name or where she lived.
As I got the feeling that the leg may be broken I called for our car and I sent her with our nurse to a nearby hospital for an X-ray.
Just half an hour ago I got the information that the leg was actually broken, she got plastered and somehow between the driver and the nurse they managed to find out where she lived and took her home.
If I had not been there most probably she whould have had to walk home with a broken leg and only God knows what would have happened next.
We cannot even imagine the hardship that these children have to face in the struggle for survival. I hope to see her again we will certainly try to monitor her state.
