This young man has been training carrying 20 kilos of weight on his back for the last two years. His athletic interest in long distance run, and sports interest in football and basket ball grew into a passion. He has few medals to his credit in the district level and he is now at the state level.
At the age of 19 years he is earnest about his intentions and aspirations.
He received his inspiration from his parents, both of whom were state level winners in different individual sports events.
I promised to keep him anonymous when I talked to him. I took his permission for this picture which was rather special.
Th first part of his walk and jog is for prayer, he said. That touched me. He believes that God gives him strength and motivation, while he trains in a disciplined way.
There is strength to one's conviction, when one arms oneself with faith! Faith to this teenager was a resolve to let go what he cannot do and do what he can do diligently. That was a new dimension to my understanding of faith!
