Inspirational story in Lucknow, India

Today I met an inspirational young man named Kapil in Lucknow, India. Kapil grew up very poor in rural India, without attending school. At some point during his childhood, two sisters from Lucknow - the capital city of the Uttar Pradesh province - offered him a job doing domestic work. The two sisters began schooling him and eventually sent him to school. During this time, he began recycling cards and selling them. He asked everyone he knew for old birthday, wedding, etc. cards and cut out the figurines, scenes and images, and pasted them onto cards he had designed. Ever since he has been selling the cards.

He has had success with the sales and has sent money to his father to build a house and sent money to Mumbai after the floods in 2005. The two women he lives with now sell garments and woven items made by underprivileged children who live near them. The most inspiring parts of this story are: Kapil's generosity despite the fact he is very poor, his happiness with his life, his resourcefulness/unwastefulness, and the generosity of the women who took him in. His story makes me even more aware of my blessed life.
