Ezhilarasan was a 10-year-old boy with a hole in his heart. His struggle to survive made him a symbol of courage and determination for everyone in his village.
His grandmother and brother are still the only family he knows. They live together in a shanty, beyond the limits of the village. As members of the Irula tribe, these “serpent hunters” are generally discriminated by others.
But the worries of his 65-year-old grandmother Kanaga have now been eased. Humanium has helped Ezhilarasan live just like every other child in his village. He was given open heart surgery, and he now receives appropriate healthcare and is eating a balanced diet.
Ezhilarasan is now in good health, and his motivation is greater than ever before. He receives a regular education, and his results at school are highly encouraging.
