When a new birthday dawns, giving one a renewed hope and energy to shed all inhibitions and start afresh, I thought I could take this one step further and celebrate in style with my boys in Guntur. 45 boys brought up with so much love and dedication at the Infant Jesus Hostel. Sharing my joy, was Guravaiah, Surekha and their two sons - Boogie & Booni.
Each of us had a message for the three boys who were going to appear for their final exams; a lot of encouragement was given to them. It was also a farewell of sorts for them as they leave the hostel and venture on in life. We will miss them dearly.
I was so surprised when three little chaps stepped forward and presented me with a car, a ball and a little fairy - see the pics. This was all that they had and because it was my birthday, they wanted to give me a gift. That thought of giving me their most precious possessions had me in tears. I couldn't refuse to take it and hurt their feelings. Instead its now my treasure and in return I gave them a gift on my actual birthday. See their little faces glowing with pride! God bless you guys!
