This time we have an inspiring story of Khimjibhai Prajapati a beggar with a small pocket but a big heart. This beggar in Mehsana in Gujarat recently donated clothes to 11 poor hearing and speech-impaired girls at Shrimati Kesarbai Kilachand School for the Deaf.

It was indeed touching to see the beggar share his savings for a good cause, especially when he is himself on crutches and in tattered clothes. Ironically he got new clothes for the girls out of his savings of Rs 3000. He had once even helped an orphan girl by getting her married

Prajapati begs outside the Simandhar Swami Jain temple and Hanuman temple and seeks alms from the devotees. In a recent interview to an English daily, he said, he earns just to have his two meals and some amount he sends to his wife in Rajkot to cure her ulcers and lung infection and since long had a wish to do something for girls. He used to run a tea stall in Rajkot but had to shut down because of losses, finally resorting to beggary.

    Indeed awe-inspiring, even penury couldn’t stop him from philanthrophy. Hats off to him.
