True awesome story

My servant has come from the most backward area of rural Sindh. A place where feudalism is at its peak. Growing up in that atmosphere ones first instinct is to survive. Poverty and lack of social awareness makes their lives a living hell. They dont have roofs over their homes, and on top of it are besieged with natural disasters. No wonder the youth turn to the life of crime because they are neglected and have no other alternative.

However here is the awesome part of the story. My servant has this thirst for knowledge. He already knew how to read Sindhi he wanted to learn English as well. Instead of turning to a life of crime he wanted to work hard and study. With my job and studies I did not have much time to teach him but he was relentless in convincing. I taught him ABC and how to spell. He caught up pretty fast. Now I am teaching him basic English words and how to structure them. He can now spell words and say sentences like " I am working" or "He is going". He also knows the words "honey" and "sweetheart". Pretty sure his wife back home will be pleased. First he used to say "subuh thee wai ahai" meaning "subah hogai hai" in Urdu when waking me up. Now he says "its morning". English, Urdu or Sindhi I still feel its a crime to wake somebody up at 8 am but thats a different story altogether.

In short we all should try and educate at least one person in our life time. That's the only way our country will improve. God bless and stay awesome.
