I am introducing this happy child, Anowara Khatun from the Cure Clubfoot Clinic Guwahati.Anowara grew up without the love of a father because her father died even before her faculties could recognize that he was her father. Her mother was crying when she shared about the struggles to take care of her three children all alone. She was a maid and also did some laundry work. The only hope for them was an uncle who would help them shoulder the family burden in small ways. Sadly, he too passed away in 2016 owing to a health issue. Life was very hard for them but the positive spirit of Anowara’s mother kept them going, and now Anowara is a happy walking child who turned 4 years on the 20th of April. Meeting and knowing such a strong spirited woman motivates us in return. Anowara’s mother today has a small vegetable selling business and says: “I feel so happy seeing Anowara walk and run like other children. Now my burden is gone.”
