INSPIRING INCIDENTS
P. Packia Saroja – Puthalam - Kanyakumari District
One day after closing the Balwadi, I locked the door and kept the key on the bench outside and sat there. When I thought of leaving I searched for the key. It was not on the bench. One of our Balwadi children named Tharshika came to me and took the key from the book she told me that she had kept the key safely under her books. It touched my heart and her consciousness of keeping things safely was really appreciable.
