Jammu: The devastating cloud burst killed more than 200 people and orphaned scores of children in Ladakh. Now, for the first time, a Jammu based NGO, Youth Movement for Peace, has adopted 27 of these orphaned children who will get free education and a place to stay in Jammu.
"I want to become a doctor, it was my desire to get education, I want to make a mark in life," said a child Tsewang Stanzin.
With dreams in their eyes the Ladakhi children want to build their lives afresh.
"I want to become an aeronautical engineer, it was not possible there, because there weren't any facilities," added another child Stanzin Chotak.
The NGO has come as a ray of hope after despair for the children who are so traumatized that even a mild shower scares them.
"Winter is approaching, there has been snowfall in Ladakh, and just a bit of a rain is enough to scare the people. The children are in shock. They are really not sure what's going to happen next," said Vikas Sharma the chairman of Youth Movement For Peace.
But, the NGO believes that it will be able to provide the children with a home away from home and giving them with a healing touch.
