A painful Memory - Narayani Teacher

When Theruvoram NGO Founder Murugan found Narayani amma on the streets of Kochi, he was devastated to see her condition.  She was suffering from a skin disease which forms boils on her skin which later pops and blood oozes out. She often cries out in pain,  but all her screams go in vain. She often used to ask the onlookers for alcohol as that was the only way to subside her physical pain.  


The passengers and commuters usually find her on the unpaid tracks of the railway station and they get terrified by her physical appearance, which makes them feel disgusted to even offer her a meal or a helping hand. 




Murugan S was informed about her by the shop keepers near the railway station and on spot without any hesitation he was ready to save this ailing Teacher.  He confirmed with the doctor that the skin disease doesn't spread through contact with the skin . A social worker from heart,  Murugan picked up Narayani amma and took her to the hospital for further medical treatment.  Narayani amma was adamant not to move from her space at the beginning but then she bulged in. Murugan shares a very special bond with her as her last words still tingle in his ears making him to become more of a human every day. 


"Nobody, no other human has ever touched me in the past 25 years other than you my son," said Narayani Amma during her last stages of her life. She passed away few weeks after the treatment.
