Philip and Trix’ visit in Bangalore
Young Ravi.
While in Bangalore we heard that a 7 year old boy had been hit by a lorry in the rural areas 300 km away. In agony, he was transported to the city. His left leg was totally smashed to the hip and his genitals crushed. We contacted the newspaper and they sent us to the hospital. We met the surgeons and social workers. They told us that the leg had to be amputated and he would need several prosthetic legs during his growing years. The cost of the surgery was equal to 20 years of his labourer father's gross income.
We committed to pay for all Ravi's surgery and medical bills. His brother, aged 15, when this was translated for him, broke down in tears.
