Despite all the challenges that our society has, stories of unsung heroes like this one from Rajasthan’s Ajmer reinstates our faith that India will move forward with people working to help each other. Child labour and begging are huge challenges but apart from criticising these practices, we rarely take any action to tackle them thinking that it’s not our responsibility.

However, Ajmer’s Sunil Jose, who works as a mathematics teacher at a private school, did not just acknowledge the problem but started working for solutions in his own way. Jose and his group Uddan Society adopted 50 child beggars and got them admission in government schools. Jose, who wants these children to complete their education for a better future, will be bearing the cost of their food and schooling, reported TOI.

Jose not only got the children admitted to government schools in Kayar and Pancheel but has also arranged a school van for them. The van picks the children up from the slums where they live and takes them to their new schools where they also get mid-day meals. After school, the van drops the children at Jose’s house where they’re given extra classes and dinner.

Jose is using his salary to pay for all the expenses incurred for the children’s breakfast, evening meals, and clothing.
