Sagar

Sagar

     Sagar came to the Love God Home in June, 2006.  His father died from tuberculosis when Sagar was only two years old.  He is 13 years old now.  Sagar is in Marathi 6th grade*.

     Sagar has a physical disability.  His left arm and left leg do not work as well as most people's do.  In spite of this he plays cricket with the other boys and he does very well in school.  In fact he is our highest achiever!

     Sagar has learned to speak, read and write English on his own.  He enjoys helping the other children with their school work.  He sometimes makes the mistake of correcting the school principal.

     Sagar would like to become an engineer when he grows up.
