“I have been doing this for over 13 years now. I am not doing this because I am the richest man on the Plateau but because I am passionate about the needy.
“As you all know, last year was very challenging for all of us, and it has cost me a lot to gather these widows and orphans here. But I have to do this to touch lives and put smiles on their faces.
“My mantra has always been, what will I be remembered for when I die? I want to be remembered for the number of lives I have touched”, Ropshik said.
