Raja schreef ons het verdrietige bericht dat Prakash, een 10-jarige jongen uit Ashirvad, is verongelukt. Hij is gestikt in het dopje van zijn pen terwijl hij in de klas zat. Raja kon hem niet op tijd bij het ziekenhuis brengen om zijn leven te redden. Hier een paar woorden die Raja erover schrijft in zijn mail:

Dit is Prakash, die is overleden door een verdrietig ongeluk
“I am very very sad to inform you that one of the boys in Ashirvad by name PRAKASH has slept in the Lord on 18-11-2011 and we are very much disturbed since the incident has happened.”
“The teacher has asked to write tables and so while writing prakash by mistake has put back portion of his pen in his mouth and was playing with it by moving the pen in and out of the mouth. While doing so by mistake he swallowed the back tip of the ball pen and for his fate this piece instead of going into his stomach has gone into the lungs and because of respiration blockage he died in minutes in the school. In the afternoon since I was in ashirvad the children in school and the principal of the school came running to me and immediately on my motorbike I went to the school. By the time I went there, the boy was lying unconcious in the verandah of the school and with the help of our caretaker mani, I immediately took him to the hospital but the duty doctor certified that he was brought dead. Me and sudha are schocked to know this.”
“I just want to inform you what has happened and please pray for the bereaved family and they are very very poor. Prakash mother is now 9 months old pregnant and her situation is very sorrowful.”
“Please pray for us so that the Lord gives us more wisdom on how to bring up these children in a blessed way and also god gives us strength to face such situations if any happens in the future. Our God is a faithful God and He will certainly give us what we ask according to His time and His will.”
Laten we dat doen. God is degene die regeert. Hier en in Ashirvad.
