Now, many children in Amritsar have found an unusually young guardian who wants to transform their lives. The children are rickshaw-pullers, domestic helps, migrant labourers, and babies of single or abandoned mothers. They all find love at the hands of 22-year-old Pearl Jasra who looks a bubbly, vivacious and the girl next-door.

Pearl Jasra lost her mother when she was just 12 and her father soon after. At that time she made up her mind to develop strength and grit in life and help others like her. Now, she is a teacher, mentor, friend and sister, all rolled into one for many children.

It is because of Pearl Jasra's initiative that these once neglected children in Amritsar today have something to smile about. Today, this orphan girl is motivating and shaping up careers of various deprived children. She enjoys teaching children about numbers, reciting poems and celebrating their birthdays and other festivals with them.

	With the little resources that she has and her uncle’s help, Pearl persuaded some affluent families of the city to financially support children’s education.

Pearl Jasra always felt that the people in urban society still look down upon the backward classes. Nobody cares about his or her needs and expectations from life. The urban society has never lent a helping hand to them in their studies and education.

The children also want to play with toys, go out and wear good clothes. Their attitude is changing from time to time. With the little resources that she has and her uncle's help, Pearl persuaded some affluent families of the city to financially support children's education.

In 2004 Pearl Jasra started the organization called Initiative for Viable Education. It is a gala time when about 92 children converge at her house in the evening to get their homework and share their feelings. Children, belonging to underprivileged class, comprising house maids, rickshaw-pullers and daily wage labourers, have been coming to her in increasing numbers.

Most of them are illiterate and come from a slum colony, located near her house. She carefully monitors their homework adding special emphasis on improving their communication skills. Her organization, Initiative for Viable Education, has identified many families, comprising widows and other underprivileged, who would like to send their children to schools.

Her story finds a display in the K S Durlabhji calendar for 2009, published from Jaipur in Rajasthan. Let her visionary activities shine her path whole through life!
