Mithun, an encouragement for all

10 year old Mithun was admitted, severely ill, to the hospital. He weighed only 12 kgs, had 2 gms haemoglobin, and could not walk. He was an orphan and lived with his brothers who did odd jobs for a living. There was no one to take care of him during the day. The hospital took Mithun under its wings and admitted him to the school. He lived in the boy's hostel and was provided good food and cared for by the wardens. The school children donated clothes, books and other materials and the hospital provided free food, lodging and education. Mithun prospered under the love and care showered on him. He started to walk slowly and also quickly learnt his school lessons. Mithun can now play football and has gained 18 kgs in 3 months. He also attends Sunday school. He is very friendly and an encouragement for all the staff who had an opportunity to look after him.
