I came across a very
interesting video on whatsapp which was a forward – the video was about a
doctor by name Abhijit who has taken an initiative to reach out to those who
are making a living by begging on the street, near the temples, mosques and
churches.
While the general attitude
towards beggars is just out of pity we give them a coin or sometimes we may
give them something to eat – but this doctor walked an extra mile by meeting
them personally, Providing them medical aid, talking to them, helping them
identify their capacities and to leading them to become Entrepreneurs.
Every week from Monday to
Saturday Dr Abhijit from morning 10 a.m o 3 pm he finds the elderly people abandoned
by their families who are on the road side found at various places, sometimes
at foot path, religious shrines, temples, mosques and gurudwara, stops by and
does a free medical checkup giving them free medicines and thus making them
Entrepreneurs.
In a world where everyone is busy making their living and saving up for future generations and competing with once another on accumulating the latest gadgets – here is a gentleman with so much passion and compassion to reach out to the ones who are neglected, and sidelined by families sometimes due to their own issues in life. I am glad to hear about Dr Abhijit and appreciate him for being an inspiration to all those around him.

Dr Abhijit fills my heart with admiration Genevive - a man with passion and compassion as you say. Thank you for this lovely #WATWB post :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Susan for your lovely comment, agree with everything you have expressed.
DeleteHi Genevive - Dr Abhijit is an absolute star ... he's amazing and what a difference he must make to so many lives - their lives, that tiny location ... but yes some will see the world differently and pull together to change others' lives. Extraordinary to read about him ... he's not wasting his talent, nor his studies/qualification ... thank you so much for this - cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteThanks Hillary and you are absolutely right, its not easy to leave your comfort zone of your workplace and move around reaching out to the poor and downtrodden, especially when you don't get anything in return.. one needs courage and commitment to get involved in such work. Appreciate you for being here. Thanks again:)
