[www.keralites.net] Khimjibhai Prajapati - This beggar gifts gold earrings to 10 anganwadi girls

 

This beggar gifts gold earrings to 10 anganwadi girls :- Khimjibhai Prajapati walked in on his crutches. Parents of 10 little girls from poor families, who were invited at the centre, thought as per his three-year-old practice, Prajapati would donate either books or school uniforms.

But their jaws dropped in disbelief when this 68-year-old beggar, famed for donating alms to encourage girls' education, brought out 10 small jewellery boxes containing gold earrings.

Prajapati presented each of the 10 girls with a pair of gold earrings, all purchased from the money he received by begging outside temples in Mehsana.
 


 

"We struggle to meet monthly expenses. We never even dreamt of getting gold," said Kumud Luhariya, seeing the twinkle in the eyes of her three-year-old daughter Bhumi after getting the earrings.

 After Prajapati expressed his wish to gift the girls gold earrings, the anganwadi chose 10 girls who came from extremely poor families. The girls were children of daily wage labourers and blacksmiths who live in slums of Mehsana town.
