Amar - All Great Achievements Require Time

15,832 views

14-year-old Amar Pratap Chowdhary works 2 jobs and still manages to go to school, where he ranks first in his class. Amar rises before dawn each morning to deliver newspapers to the still-sleeping residents of Jamshedpur in eastern India before going to his second job at an electrical appliances shop by 9am. Then school, and back to work again until 10pm. Amar's earnings from his 20-hour workday provide the primary support for his family. Take a journey with Amar and watch the triumph of the human spirit over difficult circumstances.

Cada ves que veo esta historia, aborrezco mi voluntad de papel.

Inspiring? Yes, Amar is a strong and courageous, but he is a boy! It is very sad to see him burdened with the responsibility of providing for his family at such a young age. Where's the father in all this? What is he doing to care for his family?

How could one send gifts for this boy? He is inspiring.

Makes me more firm in my thoughts as Life is all about the mind. You can make anything you wish to,.. Including time.. Specially when survival is question .. then everything else takes a second place.. Lot to learn from his determination and commitment.

Well, I have myself seen this boy's dedication when he comes to one of my friends' room for help with english. He does his homework daily and never complains. Great boy.

Indian law forbids employment for persons below 18yrs, making a lot of people in this video criminals. We need to change laws to cope with ground realities, allow life-skills education, while also safeguarding childhood.
