was tragically killed by wild elephants. The children returned to school still traumatized by his death. When they returned home the following sum-mer, they found the hut empty. Their mother had remarried and moved to her new husband’s village, which was several hours away. With nowhere to go, the children stayed through the summer months, taking care of each other with little

The teachers and hostel parents immediately saw how thin and hungry the siblings were and took them in, feeding them and loving them to the fullest.
