Private school adopts special child and his friend

After making headlines for his ability to write beautifully with his foot, 11-year-old Kamaljeet Singh of Sahauli village has got the support of a private school that has adopted him and his friend Sunny for their further studies. The duo will be studying free of cost in the school until Class 12. Moreover, the books, notebooks, and uniforms have also been provided by the school.

On Saturday, Kamaljeet and Sunny attended the first day in Class 6 in Golden Earth Convent School in Pandori village. Kamaljeet, son of a labourer, was a student of Class 5 in Government Primary School in Sahauli village when TOI reported about Kamaljeet — who has a congenital problem with the movement of his hands and legs — not only completes his exam in time, but had also topped his class in the previous academic year.

A charming boy, Kamaljeet used to sit on a mat in his classroom along with his friend Sunny, who used to help him by opening his bag, sharpening his pencil, feeding him, and bringing water for him. However, on Saturday, the well-dressed duo were sitting in their new uniforms on the first bench of their class in the new school. Their shifting from a government school to a well-designed private school has made them overjoyed.
