Kerala Education Minister Praises Teachers for Helping Student and Mother
Imagine a little boy in Kerala who wasn't allowed to live in his house with his mom because of a family argument.
He and his mom had to sleep outside in a small shelter!
Luckily, his teachers at school noticed he was sad and found out what was happening.
They brought special helpers, like people from Childline and the police, and talked to his family.
Because the teachers cared so much, they helped fix the problem.
Now, the boy and his mom can live back in their home.
The Education Minister even said the teachers were heroes for showing such kindness and making sure the boy and his mom were safe and happy.
