We all have those days when everything seems to go
wrong, and the world feels like a tough place to be. In darkness, a spark of
light appears and lifts your spirits. Friends, have you ever been inspired by
someone as young as 16 who leaves you amazed? Recently, I met a young man teaching
mathematics to underprivileged students in a remote corner of the world. His
selfless act of helping those students uplifted my spirit, renewed my hope, and
restored my faith in humanity.
Taj Bora is a 10th-grade student at Eastview High
School in Minnesota, USA. He is an
accomplished debater and aspiring leader who led his school to win medals and
glory. He is also passionate about Mathematics and has developed an interest in
teaching it to junior students. Taj recently came into contact with Vidya - The
Living School. The school is nestled in the serene natural beauty of the
Dhemaji district, near the Assam-Arunachal border. Surrounded by mountains,
rivers, and lush greenery, it provides an inspiring environment for learning
and growth. he school was founded by Pranjal
Buragohain, Associate Professor, Dibrugarh University. Driven by a strong sense of social
responsibility, Pranjal embarked on this journey with the firm belief that
education has the power to transform lives and break the cycle of poverty. Taj,
who has always sought an opportunity to teach mathematics, began interacting
with Vidya students, which soon blossomed into weekly online coaching. Thank You Message - Vidya - The Living School
Every week, Taj carefully prepares his tutoring lessons and delivers them to the students. He is supported by his parents, Geeti Das and Prantor Bora, who always back his efforts. Young Taj, raised in Minnesota, is unfamiliar with the Dhemaji district or its people. However, he has shown that language and geography are no barriers if someone has the passion to serve. A few friends and I recently joined a live session conducted by Taj and saw how students were learning math through interactive, hands-on sessions.
In our busy lives, it’s easy to get caught up
in our own world. Sometimes we don’t even notice the acts of kindness others
perform. Shyam DevChoudhury, who joined the call, accurately emphasizes the
importance of young Taj’s effort, “Glad to know the involvement of Taj to
share his knowledge and expertise. 10th grade is a busy time for students; this
is a huge effort on his part to educate others and offer help. Hope this will
be a great opportunity for him to learn a few things by interacting with
students in Assam.”
When we perform acts of
kindness, it doesn't just affect the person on the receiving end; it can
inspire everyone. One act can lead to another, then another, and then another,
creating a cascade of positivity that reaches far beyond the initial act.
Pranjal and Taj made us realize that we can uplift others in ways we may never
fully understand. I wish their selfless act would create ripples of kindness
throughout the world around us.
