As the United States and 'friends' pursue a 17-year-old, easier-than-peace, Afghan war effort, a single man in India seems to be demonstrating the inescapable observation that
peace and honest sweat are intimately linked.
A man in a remote eastern Indian village has single-handedly carved a
five-mile (8km) road through hilly terrain to help his children attend
school.
It had been taking Jalandhar Nayak’s three sons about three hours
each way to navigate the narrow, rocky route to class. So two years ago
the vegetable seller from Odisha state picked up a chisel, a garden hoe and pickaxe and began building a shorter route....
“My children found it hard to walk on the narrow and stony path while
going to their school. I often saw them stumbling against the rocks and
decided to carve a road through the mountain so that they can walk more
easily,” he told News World Odisha.
Amen.
Strange.
