In acknowledgement of the sewa of Bhai Charanjit Singh, 23, for
training hundreds of Sikh children with Gatka (a Sikh martial art)
in Canada, Sikh Sangat donated Rs 57,400 to his family.
Bhai Charanjit Singh was killed in a road accident at Vancouver,
Canada, in May 2004. Besides him, Mr Parminder Singh, head of Gurmat
Studies Institute, Canada, and Ms Reena Kaur, 17, a gatka student,
also died in the accident. On 27th September, Bhai Sahib's family
dealt with another unfortunate loss, with the passing away of Bhai
Charanjit Singh's father, Bhai Balkar Singh after suffering a heart
attack.
A teacher of gatka, Bhai Sahib had been living in Canada for the
past two years. He had trained over 700 students and in this way he
bridged the cultural gap between the Canadian youths of
Punjabi-origin and Punjab.
SikhGiving.com sewadars handed over the money to Bhai Charanjit
Singh's mother at her home, village PartapGarh, Gurdaspur Dist. as
they came to know that his family was living under penury since his
untimely death.
