Indian girl sells dozen mangoes for 1.2 lakhs, buys smartphone for online classes
Kathmandu, June 30. A teen from the Jharkhand state of India sold a dozen mangoes at Rupees 1.2 Lakh and bought a smartphone to attend online classes.
Tulsi Kumari, an 11-year-old girl poor mango vendor told ANI that her family’s financial situation deteriorated due to government-imposed lockdown. Her parents had no money to buy a smartphone for her to attend online classes.
The girl studying in fifth grade was well determined to collect money for a smartphone. She started selling mangoes on a roadside temporary shop, which was nothing but a few plastic sacks laid over the road. All of her daily earnings went into buying food for the family. But the girl never gave up.
When a Mumbai-based businessman, Ameya Hete heard about Tulsi, he bought 12 mangoes for Rs 10,000 each. He also helped her buy a smartphone and study materials with her earnings.
ANI quoted businessman Hete as saying, “When I heard about her story, it touched my heart. Though there are innumerous children whose struggle with poverty is affecting their education. But what impressed me about Tulsi is her spirit to not give up on the circumstances and make efforts for her dreams.”
