Our volunteers came across with a
13 years old cheery and lively girl suffering from Rheumatic Heart Disease
referred from Bowring and Lady Curzon hospital. She lives with her parents and
4 elder brothers in one tiny village of West Bengal.
Make A Wish Volunteers met this
kid in the inpatient ward, they gave her a small soft toy to play and started
talking with her about her interests and hobbies. She told them that she is
having in-depth interest in drawing and learn more Bengali Kavitas. Most of her
leisure time, she will spend with her blossom friend Meherun. Both of them will
having keen interest in drawing, writing kavitas, learning different types of
Rangolis and Mehendi designs. She expressed her aspiration to become a doctor
and treat the kids without taking any money. And she is keen on doing social
service for the orphans and provide them food, accommodation and educational
service with free of cost.
In addition to this, she is
having habit of reading Bengali Kavitas which her class teacher as taught. She
told 4 kavitas to our volunteers though she was under the pain of dialysis. As
our volunteers told “ Her kavitas inspired her to sang those many kavitas in
the ward”, all other kids in the ward listen to her kavitas with lots of hope
and joyfulness. Then our volunteers
start talking to her about her wishes, she said her only wish to have Bengali
poetry books of books of Rabindranath Tagore, Bankhim Chandra Chatarjee and Aurobindo
Gosh in Bengali.
As our volunteers searched in many book shops in Bangalore, but there is no stock of the books she had specified. So, we took Kolkata
divisional Coordinator help to get those books from there to Bangalore. As soon
as we received books via courier, on the special day of 20th April
2013, our volunteers planned for fulfilling her wish. They fulfilled her wish
in the hospital when she came for her follow up treatment; there are no words
for her to express her happiness. She thanked all our volunteers who made
effort to got those books and make her wish come true.
