Little Act, Great Impact!!! – A SUCCESS STORY OF INTEGRATION WITH FAMILY It seemed just few weeks back to me, though it has already been about two months that Joshan has been integrated to his family. The memories are still fresh when brother Santosh brought him to KHUSHI appartment. That was the first time I noticed him, though I possibly had met him during street football tournament organized just few days back. In spite he was in the street for almost four years as Santosh made me learn, he appeared to me as if he was a normal boy except his unhygienic wear. This might had been possible because of all regular counselling and the time spent with him by Santosh. During that night, he remained quite silent to me. May be it was because I was a new face to him. I cooked some meals for him, which he enjoyed. Then, I put a Nepali movie for him on you-tube and managed sleeping arrangements for him. Next day, early morning we had good tea and small talks. It looked as Joshan is now totally positive to his life and wanted to give a fresh start. He also promised to re-continue his studies further. I assured to visit him during Dashain/Tihar festival holiday, during my homestay. After morning breakfast, Santosh took him to the bus-station for his safe journey to his hometown, Dharan. Then after, we had been following him on cell phone conversation. During my homestay, I finally visited to him at Dharan. Brother Satyam, a local resident of Dharan, made it easy for me to get his home. My first sight as I reached there went on Joshan, who was enjoying with a small baby, with smiles on his face. I met his mother and auntie and his other small brothers/sisters and had a small conversation with them. They were very happy to have Joshan back and Joshan was very satisfied indeed. I just said them, ‘It was all because of our love to him that Joshan is now with you. Now, it’s your turn to bind him with the rope of love and care. I’m sure of it because love can make everything possible.” Then, Joshan took me to his father, where he was working for building home. His father thanked us for such a novel work and assured me that Joshan will soon join his school. What I liked about him that he believed in transferring his skills to his son and so he would be taking Joshan along with him at work whenever he will have a long vacation at school. It is what I believe education in Nepal lacks – skills generating work in parallel to academics. Just few days back, Santosh had a telephone conversation with Joshan’s family. My happiness flew to extreme when Santosh told me that now Joshan has re-started his school life. Now, Joshan studies in 5th grade at his home. This is for what I am enjoying working here. It’s not always about payments, but what happiness I have been getting here cannot be compared. It feels really very glad to bring change in someone’s life. Truly I believe, small acts can lead towards a great impact. I wish Joshan a very successful and happy life ahead. God Blesses Him ! By:Aman Shrestha, KHUSHI NEPAL
