Ajay Kumar, a 10-year-old boy who hails from Tilakpur recounts the hardships he faced back home. While his father works in a field, his mother stays at home and looks after the children. Ajay’s parents found it difficult to provide a stable and healthy environment for their children. They decided to send, Ajay, the eldest to AIM for Seva’s hostel in Sheikhpura. “I want to use this opportunity to become successful in life. I would like to become a doctor and help people in my village.” Attending Vikas International Public School, Srikrishna Nagar in Maur, Ajay’s favourite subject is mathematics. He says, “AIM For Seva changed my life in many ways; I have learnt about cleanliness and the co-ordinators are guiding me in the right directions. Every morning, we pray to God and do yoga before school. It has changed my personality and approach to life”.
