A day in A Social Worker's Life (3)

Tweet

Bhumi Kumari (Sweety) is an orphan girl of 11 who lives in my foster family. She passed her primary school in December last year. She should have joined Class V in the local high school in January. But as it is with many abandoned children, she did not have a birth certificate. And so the school refused to admit her. I ran from pillar to post to get her a birth certificate. I got it today and without any delay I took Sweety to the school. She was accepted and her name was written in the school admission register. The office clerk gave her identity card, her roll number and class section. I could see joy written on her face and I was happy too to have completed the job. I rode to River Research Primary School to get a 'student certificate' for another child, who used to be a student there but now works as a driver in our farm. Unfortunately, the school office was closed. Saturdays are half working days so the school closed early. In the evening, I went with others to see our director, who is in the hospital. The nurses told his condition is stable now. I look back and see there was some success and some failure. That's what our life is made of. Isn't it?
