Ramjan, 13 years old, born to a prostitute mother and a father who fetches business for his wife, is cursed to take care of herself. Born with a brother (working in a fish shop) she has to earn for her living by packing grocery items in a nearby factory. She was earning Rs.30/- per day. She is not happy, deprived of the care and affection she should get as a child.
It was then she was seen by the special school teacher of New Life. The teacher told about her to the counselor and the counselor met her parents. It took much time to counsel them and even the child to make her come to the special school. The child lacked motivation, interest and had fear to come to school. She was repeatedly counseled and after 5 months efforts she joined the school.
In the beginning she was irregular to the school. But now she never misses a class. The New Life team is happy that her right to education has been protected. And we are taking efforts to see that she completes her education and thus get a legal employment.
Children like Ramjan can have a safe future only with the support of people like you. Join with us in saving such children by supporting financially and by spreading the message to your friends and relatives.
