Being a good Samaritan is not easy. It takes a lot of hard work in the first place to have money in the pocket. It takes a very very large heart to give it away to those who need it. It takes lots and lots of organizational skills to ensure that the money flows into the really needy and not into the hands of the middlemen who might end up swallowing it.
That is exactly what tej kohli foundation has been doing for some time now. He has set up the foundation as answer to his dreams of doing good to the society. As something to give to the kids in answer to the not so great childhood that he himself had.
In the process, he has created an organization which is ensuring that a lot of good things happen to a lot of needy kids in places where they don’t even know that such an organization exists.
The software king, who created the software empire, grew up in utter poverty. As a child, he had always dreamt of having a great life. He went on to make a life for himself. He also ensured that the kids who are like him now, who need some care and money and guidance do get it.
Not a lot of people are like that. All of us can do whatever we can within our own capacities. We all can take care of at least one needy child. All that it takes is some money to be set aside. Money, as little as what we spend on our weekly trips to the grocery store or the weekly trips to the malls or the cinema halls, can provide great education to kids living in abject poverty somewhere in the world. All that one has to do is to give up a pack of cigar that he smokes or give up one bottle of booze that he drinks for a month. That will light up the life of a child somewhere in the world.
