Every year, the talk Sivakumar gives when he presents aid to poor students, makes one's eyes swim in tears.
The Sivakumar Education Trust and Surya's Agaram Foundation donated money for education for +2 students who got top places as well as for poor and needy students this morning at a function held at Film Chamber.
The function started with a prayer song by Sivakumar's daughter Brinda. This was followed by Sivakumar's speech.
"It is a different kind of help when you help the poor or the sick. Helping students with their educational needs is like watering a seed as it is growing into a solid tree.
My relative Arumuga Gounder helped me to attend art classes for 6 years. If he had not helped me, I would have become neither an artist nor an actor.
Today's students complete their studies, go to America and live well. The condition of parents, who have brought them up with so much difficulty, is pitiable here. Whatever heights you reach, you should never forget your parents. The love from your mother is something you will never receive anywhere.
Those who are employed in the computer industry, earn great salaries. But computer is like a demon that will shorten life," he said.
Surya gave away the prizes to the students. The boy who got first prize in the test even as he heard that his mother had passed away, the boy who worked as he put himself through school, a boy who worked at a pavement caf? and got himself educated, the blind girls who excelled in their studies despite not being able to see ? when these students chosen by Sivakumar's Trust were given the prizes, there was many a wet eye in the auditorium.
