Guwahati, Jan 17 (UNI) Poornima Mondol is a proud mother today, as three of her children are representing the state in three different sports of kho kho, hockey and football in the ongoing Khelo India Youth Games here.
Switching multiple jobs, a determined Poornima provided all the necessary support to help her children -- Sujit (kho kho), Pradip (hockey) and Mallvika (football) succeed.
"I have had multiple jobs in my life. I worked in a school for sometime before leaving it because the salary was very low. Then I opened a shop, which unfortunately didn't garner revenue. Now, I am hoping to get a job at a school again. My husband is a carpenter. His job was giving us a good income at one point, but now he doesn't get as much work as he used to get before, so it's a little difficult for us," said Poornima.
