Our very kind hearted and devoted Trustee Davinder Singh got wind of it and picked her up. He made an arrangement for her safe upbringing. Now on her attaining marriageable age the trust arranged her marriage by finding a suitable match. Marriage was solemnized on 13-3-2011. Here too the key role was of Davinder Singh.
