Sindhutai Sapkal: Mother of Orphans

Sindhutai Sapkal: In her ever-smiling form.

The entire world got to know about the great Mother Teresa only after she got the Nobel peace prize for her charitable work. For all the years prior to that, she didn’t even exist for people but nevertheless, she served her purpose and showed to the world that there still exists humanity till her very last breath.

The entire world got to know about the savior of kids, Kailash Satyarthi only after he got the Nobel Peace Prize for his fight against child labor and exploitation. He continues his fight even today without asking for any name and fame, crossing many hurdles in his path and saving as many kids as possible, and giving direction to their lives.

Another legendary figure that I would like to mention is Sindhutai Sapkal, the Mother of orphans. She stayed amongst us, served amongst us without caring for anything in return, and yet she was not known to many prior to her death.

Sindhutai Sapkal-the legend who stayed amongst us but we were blind to her existence

Sindhutai Sapkal didn’t have an ordinary childhood, she had her own share of sufferings. Despite suffering so much, she dedicated her entire life to the service of orphans. She was one mother for all the orphans.
