Have you ever meet someone and said to yourself "They have been here before"? If no, I mean someones presence and energy is so strong that you feel like they have been to earth before because they posses wisdom and a aurora that can't be taught. Well meet Rinku, this little ball of energy stole my heart the moment I met her.
Rinku attends the school that I'm working at this summer and she lives in the slums that are adjacent to the school. Although Rinku speaks as much English as I speak Hindi we find ways to communicate through games, handshakes, and me practicing her 7 tables with her. The other day I wasn't too thrilled to be going to work but as soon as I reached the centers and was greeted by Rinku's bright eyes and energetic "Hi Ma'am!" my whole mood shifted and I was so excited to be there.
Rinku has a energy about her that is so raw, genuine, and precious. Her eyes tell a story that unexplainable I pray to God she never looses it! Everyday this little girl puts a smile on my face! I only hope that in the short time I have left here I am able to impact her life the way she has for me.
