Kartikey Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 http://ibnlive.com/news/bhajji-bowls-over-sick-child-with-his-charity/61738-5.html Meerut: Harbhajan Singh is making news off the field, and for good reasons. Bhajji has bowled over a sick child with his charity. He wrote a cheque for Rs 2 lakh for the treatment of an eight-year old. A powerful electric shock charred Aniket’s arms and legs, gangrene set in, and is eating away tissue from his tender frame. Now all his four limbs are bandaged. His family brought the ailing child from Jabalpur to Delhi. But the costs proved too daunting, and Aniket was refused treatment. He was then taken to Meerut and admitted to a local hospital. “An electric shock burnt his hands and legs, and he is now undergoing treatment with us,†says a physician, Navbharat Hospital. As Aniket's family stood distraught, help arrived in an SUV. Team India member Harbhajan Singh entered the hospital amidst fanfare and excitement. He slipped in quietly to meet Aniket and left just as quickly. But the sportsman had left behind more than moral support for Aniket. "It was very good of him. He left a cheque for Rs 2 lakhs,†says a doctor, Navbharat Hospital. But what drew Harbhajan to the boy in Meerut? “He loves cricket, and used to play all the time before this happened. This is what we told Harbhajan, this is what melted his heart,†says Santosh Kumari, Aniket’s aunt. A cheque for Rs 2 lakh and quality time with Harbhajan apart, Aniket has more incentives for a quick recovery. “He said all of team India would come to meet him,†says Santosh Kumari. For Aniket, it all began with a rude shock, but Bhajji stepped in right when it got dicey.
Anakin Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 Excellent gesture. It's a shame when medical treatment is denied because of money.
DomainK Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 Great genture indeed and what I like is that he did it in silence and not in front of the media. It was the doctor who informed the media.

Kartikey Posted March 22, 2008 Author Posted March 22, 2008 Great genture indeed and what I like is that he did it in silence and not in front of the media. It was the doctor who informed the media. Exactly my thoughts. My respect for him has increased.
cochise Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 He has also adopted a little girl in his neighbourhood and is bringing her up...saw it in this interview on the Cricket Show in Australia (you need to watch a short ad before the interview starts): http://video.msn.com/video.aspx?mkt=en-AU&brand=ninemsn&vid=e00370c9-4f87-42f0-a8ec-ff1180cd901b

Guest Hiten. Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 Sachin has been with a charity for a long time. But he never gets the media know about his doings for the charity.
