Obama shared Indian-American letter

Washington, March 10: America Former President Barack Obama shared a letter by an Indian-American woman on the occasion of International Women's Day.

He urging others to read her "inspiring" story.

"When Michelle and I came back from vacation, we found this note from a woman named Sindhu waiting for us. I'm proud of Michelle for the difference she made in this young woman's life, and I'm inspired by Sindhu's story, so I thought I'd share it with you today," Obama wrote in a blog post.

In her letter, Sindhu, a 38-year-old Indian-American woman, thanked Michelle Obama for inspiring her years ago.

"One day in Fall 1966, an idealistic 17-year old Indian girl was inspired while sitting in a chapel. She didn't remember the name of the woman who spoke. But she will never forget the fire that was lit to make something of her life, and to use that life to serve others," the letter read.

Sindhu wrote that after that speech, she signed up to be a volunteer at a hospital and signed up for an after-school program teaching creative writing and literature for undeserved children in the community.
