Hello Friends, Greetings.
This morning I visited Rosy. Sowmya and her friend, Swathi also came there. Rosy is the third child among the six children of the couple, Balaswami and Suseela. Balaswami wanted to make her a nun and he has been telling her to take Mother Teresa as inspiration. She doesn't want to be a nun as there would be so many restrictions and the area of work also would be limited. She started taking free tuition classes while she was studying degree. But as the duration is limited, she thought of running a school. She opened a school on 18th of July, 2007. She supports 20 orphans and out of them 5 are studying in private colleges. They come here during holidays. 40 students are attending her school. This school is for the students of Nursery to 3rd class. In the evening time, she takes tuition classes as usual. She also trains the children for every competition. One of the students stood first in Rangareddy District in 7th standard. He is now studying in a private school. The students also got prizes in various competitions. Dance Master Lawrence sends one of his aides to train the children for competitions. Actress Jayasudha also visits this place for any functions. It costs around Rs. 35,000 a month for Rosy for all expenses (orphan children, food, school fee, teachers' pay and all). They got land for free from a donor and they will be constructing a school. She pays Rs. 1000 for each teacher (now there are 2 teachers) and 1000 rs. is the rent for school (only two rooms). The immediate requirements are: 1. Gas Stove (Mrs. Suseela cooks using wood.) 2. Cooker 3. Water Filter 4. Chairs 5. Tables 6. Fan 7. Pencils 8. Erasers They have enough of note books and required number of slates. Rosy named the school as Sarada Vidyaniketan in the name of her beloved teacher who died few years back. Mrs. Sarada is very fond of Rosy and Rosy studied 2nd class to 10th class in the school where Mrs. Sarada used to teach. Mrs. Sarada has two sons and she wanted to adopt Rosy for her love for girl children. But Rosy's father denied. Rosy also visits the slums near Miyapur and Silparamam. She is doing MSW in Rodha Mistry College in Gachibowli. There were many lucrative offers too after seeing her service. Many 'established' organizations. They asked her to club her organization in those established organizations and they were ready to pay her Rs. 20,000 a month. She and her father refused as they are doing the service selflessly. The plight of the children is very heartrending. Of course they are very active and they are grasping the subjects very well. But their situation is pathetic. They are not completely aware of the world. They have the same innocent smiles on their faces. Most of them have horrible stories. They were used to all kinds of bad habits like liquor, tobacco to mention the few. It takes great courage, strong will, determination and relentless pursuit, perseverance to work with this type of kids and that to by convincing the reluctant parents. Rosy is really a wonderful human being. When I expressed that it is a great work she replied that she doesn't feel so and it is her duty to serve the society. When I expressed that not everyone thinks that way, she quoted that she is not interested to think about others. She is only bothered about her work.
