Woman Carrying 30-Kg Plywood Inspires Ladakh Marathon Athlete

Sarthak Malani met a woman named Sarita while she was carrying a very heavy plywood sheet uphill.

She was taking it to a monastery along a steep 1.8-kilometer path.

Sarita earns ₹700 each day for this difficult work.

She uses the money to feed her children and help pay for their education.

At first, Sarthak thought she was a man because her face was covered.

After talking with her, he learned about her hard work and family responsibilities.

Sarita said she continues because her family depends on her.

Sarthak was deeply moved by her strength and determination.

He said he would think of her whenever he felt discouraged.
