We got 5 year old boy Kumar( Name changed) referral from Narayana Hrudayalaya, suffering from VSD, PFO, Moderate Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension a kind of heart disease.He was very much playful and active boy, in the first visit we are not able to speak with him as he was thinking we are from hospital. His father working as a carpenter in one wood shop and mother is 
a housewife. They were basically from Tamilnadu and living in a small rented house in Bangalore, they were unable to afford his medication cost.
He was having one elder brother and very much sensitive and more attached to his mother. In their home they were not having television, when he was in hospital he used to watch Tom and Jerry and Mr. Beam. He loves to watch the movies of actor Rajanikanth in Tamil. During weekends and general holidays he play Kabaddi (Local Game) with his brother and visits to the near by park to his home along with his mother. He was very keenly interested to see the animals, birds, flower and vegetable gardens. He knew most of the animals and flowers name through his favorite teacher.
While speaking with him about his wish, he told us that he wish to see animals of all kinds and dreamt of seeing them at the famous Mysore Zoo, which is the 3rd largest in the country. His innermost wish is to see all kind of animals and birds.
So on the chosen day on 6th April 2008, we took him, his father and brother along with the 2 volunteers to Mysore Zoo. The Mysore zoo officials as one Zoo Education Officer and 3 Zoo volunteers guided the children as well as the volunteers in the local language of the kids. They personally taking each kid individually and explained about the birds, animals and about the nature. They offered lunch and juice in zoo, from their side to all the wish participants. They were really helpful in many ways in making the wish cherished and memorable for the little one.
Even our wish kid become very much friendly with the volunteer who guided he all the way in zoo and he invited the volunteer to his home. He asked many questions about animals and birds to the zoo volunteer, which they replied with patience and interest.
His wish is to take a snap with lion, instead of that he was more interested in seeing various animals and birds in the zoo. His mother said, at home he was not ready to walk from his home to school, but in zoo he walked almost around 4 hours with the volunteer. (Mysore Zoo is spread over 100 acres of land) After seeing the zoo, he was not ready to come out of it, he wants spend some more time in zoo with animals and the volunteer. Finally, he thanked the volunteers for fulfilling is cherished wish and invited all of them to his home for Ugadi festival. He had many friends with the animals and birds from the zoo that day. The day would remain etched in his memory for ever.
