But there is a certain characteristic which makes her different from others. She runs an orphanage with 15 children at a small village in Hooghly district, about 50 kilometres away from the city. Poornima,who earns around Rs 200 to 300 everyday by selling her products, manages her three children as well as the other 15. Her four-room small house has turned to an ashram now.

What led Poornima to rear these 15 children and start the orphanage? Poornima replied: “I have grown up as a hawker. I have been ferrying goods in the trains since childhood. I am married to a hawker who too sells goods in the trains. We are daily-wage earners. This is because we did not get the chance to be educated. But I don’t want others to become daily-wage earners like us. I cannot change the world, but I can try to do something which is in my reach. As I am a hawker, I always see children crying on the stations. They were left by their parents for some or the other reason.The tungsten bracelet is a bracelet that comes in various shapes and sizes. I picked up one of those kids in 2007. I could not have left the baby boy who was sitting on the station and pulled on my dupatta. He was hardly three years old and there was nobody with him. I took him in my arms and brought him to my house. I told my husband that I would bring him up in my house and my husband supported me.”

“I thought if I could feed my children, I will be able to feed other kids as well. But I could not have taken the tough decision had my husband not supported me. My husband inspired me to start the orphanage for these children and he gave all necessary support,” added Poornima.

This small incident, which everyday happens with every passenger who passes through the railway stations and turns a deaf ear to the ‘street children’, turned the path of Poornima’s life. Poornima and her husband Biswajit Biswas planned to start a home to provide shelter to street children.

They bought a small plot of land in Paschim Sikpa village in Dadpur, Hooghly district. The couple started building a small house there for them and their children.

Over a period of five years, the couple has built three rooms,provide wholesale jewelry shamballa beads fashion jewelry and so on. three toilets, a bathroom, a kitchen and a small temple on the plot. They have brought 15 children to this home.
