Sometimes, we will experience things that are unimaginable. Things that leave the biggest scars on our hearts. And sometimes, the people we love will make the biggest sacrifice for our sake. In our story for today, meet Suma. A girl who was left alone, but then strives hard to make her future. She came to Sahasra Deepika when she was 4 years old. And she didn’t know that, that moment would change her life forever.
“Suma’s Story,” A moving short film about one of Sahasra Deepika’s first students, will be screened at the DC South Asian Film Festival on Sunday, September 11th. The film, produced and directed by Ms. Media Productions, shows the impact of Sahasra Deepika on the life of a young girl who was left at Sahasra Deepika by her mother–a mother who never returned. On September 10th, Sahasra Deepika Foundation for Education President Sarva Rajendra will participate in a panel discussion on human trafficking after a screening of SOLD the movie. All events will be held at the Robert E. Parilla Performing Arts Center in Rockville, Maryland.
