Five Bubbles - changing lives of underprivileged children

This is Saroo from the move Lion. Who wouldn't have heard about this movie or watched it. It is truly inspiring and motivating. More so, because it has a happy ending. But not every runaway or lost child has happy endings in life. Five Bubbles is a small initiative to help runaway kids. Responsibility lies with all of us to respect, care for, and spread love to all the children around us. Irrespective of who they are. Let's take a pledge that we will spread love to each and every child we find on the streets.

We are all born resilient. But as we grow older, we see myriad of events happen all around us, and our own expectations take away some of our power to survive without losing happiness. As a child, we are different.

We are all resilient, but we don't see it “The oak fought the wind and was broken, the willow bent when it must and survived.” ― Robert Jordan. Resiliency is in all of us. But we need to explore it.

Quality education is every child's right. Just opening schools or having children attend classes without teachers won't help.

Hats off to the loco pilot Mr Ravindra Kumar Saini. He has played a big role in saving a child's life and future. Such happy stories are so comforting.

Not all stories have a sad ending and not all have happy ending. But this real life story is a a happy one and very inspiring. It takes immense amount of willpower and grit to live day by day when you are an orphan. Achieving what Jyoti has achieved is very commendable.

Orphan Girl Who Lived by Begging at Patna Railway Station Now Runs a Cafe, Inspires The Internet She says that she runs the cafeteria all day and studies in her free time. Today she lives in a rented house with her own earnings. Jyoti dreams of making a career in the field of marketing and is still pursuing her studies through open school learning.

Running away from home is not an easy thing. But still millions of kids runway every year from their homes across the world. Even animals don't force their kids out until they are capable of fending for themselves. What makes us worst than animals?

I am very happy to share that we have raised INR 80K for Salam Baalak Trust. Lot of generous friends and family members contributed to it. World is a better place only because of people who believe in giving. Taking a bow to everyone who contributed. Thank you!
