Today was my birthday :). Amongst all the things that I’ve learned in my 22 years of life, nothing has taught me to express gratitude more than my time at Divya Vidyalaya.

It’s both heartwarming and heartbreaking to spend time with these kids. It is heartwarming because it’s nice to see them constantly smiling despite the struggles they are facing such as blindness and mental disabilities.

Heart-shattering because you can’t help but wish they had an easier life, such as the ones each of you reading this are lucky enough to have…

This is your reminder to be immensely grateful for things as simple as your ability to see, your general health etc.
