I have never had the fortune of meeting her so far. Only, the media reports about her receiving an award from the President of India, made me proud being a native of the Nilgiris & a Badaga. And take notice.
If you sit back and think of ONE teacher of our school whose teachings & advise has made us what we are today, we feel so happy and grateful to have studied under her/him. This ‘guru’s’ teachings touch our lives in many ways.
When I wrote about her in my websites, the response from her students and others was huge and I realised ‘HOW ONE PERSON CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN SO MANY LIVES’.
That great person is Mrs.Rajamma from Kethorai Village, Rajma Mam to her students.
Recently when I received the following email from her, appreciating the work on these websites, I felt humbled. I can feel how powerful her words and teachings would have been.
I take the liberty of publishing her letter to put on record my deep gratitude and I am sure she will remain a powerful influence in many more lives.
Dear JP,

I have been browsing online more thwn 4 hours today,yet I never found any interesting article lke yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all web owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be a lot more useful than ever before.

I am so proud to be a mother of two children who were students of Rajammal mam. I think the name itself explains that she is the ONE GREAT MOTHER for the students she teaches and the social work which she does in Good Life Center, where she teaches English and Science for the helpless children, very one can’t do this. A person with a loving heart and willing to teach everyone what she knows, is the greatest quality in her. What ever I may praise her, it is just a drop compared to what she is doing. I wish you mam all the best in your life. Keep teaching. Thanking You.
