All
five of them studied at Gurukul from Class V to Class
XII. To this day they are grateful for the opportunity
given to them to be educated and for the exposure to Indian
culture and traditions. Rosemary (Rashmi) and Catherine
(Usha) went on to become nurses, Joy (Sandhya) is an Art
teacher whilst Juliet (Chandralekha) is a drawing teacher.
Sadly Roset (Prabha) passed away a few years after returning
to Uganda.
Their ties with the Mehtas remain strong and they do not
lose any opportunity to express their thanks and gratefulness
to the Mehta family for their kindness to them. During
a recent visit to Uganda, Mr. Dhirubhai Mehta and family
invited the 'girls' over for tea with their families.
While the girls from Uganda will always hold a special
place in our hearts we look forward to more such opportunities
of sharing culture, language, education and in a small
part, our lives. |
