Brighter Future for 4500 Orphan children in India

Hi, I am back with one more exciting news. As you’ll know we are engaged to upgrade the living condition of the children living in Child Care Institution (CCI) or Orphanage. We have been dealing with the girls who have come from pathetic situation and extreme poverty. This led them to be the pray of getting physically or verbally abused many a times. Though they are in protected atmosphere in CCI we never know once they are back home what situation and risk they face.

In my previous report I have elaborated on Life skill session which we are organizing. We moved one step ahead to it and plan to empower them on Adolescent health.  We at CSA were train to conduct the session for Adolescent Health Program (AHP) Wherein they are made aware of the facts they should be knowing also the safety measure and consequences of their unthoughtful act. This helped the kids to have a complete and proper knowledge to take the most important decision in their life.  Not only this the impact was more seen in our Self-defense classes. With limited resources we could do the Self-defense class only for girls. We started training them on Karate Shotokon for almost 90 girls. Within 3 months 62 girls were white belt winner. Which is their 1^st level. This meant a lot for the girls as we observed the change in their body language and confidence level.

Girls are more open compare to the previous situation where they were always left to stay in the room and were not allowed to come on the ground and play. This activity is well received by the kids and will be continued to see if they can excel and build career in this sector. This inspire us to do more and more for the kids!

When I started working with CSA I came to know about observation home for boys. My visit to this home increased as I found that the boys from the home were very enthusiastic and were eager to have dialogue.   Group discussions were helping them to build their own understanding and perception.

Prafull (name Changed) was one of the boy from this group. Who was very talkative and active. He was admitted in Observation home for need of care and Protection. His father is blind and sales small toys on the streets. His mother expired when he was just 10 yrs, old. The father was unable to take care of his children (Prafull and his sister) Prafull always was very talkative and introvert. He was average in academics. CSA provided all the educational Material and Special coaching classes for Prafull. They utilized this help in appropriate manner and could clear 10^th standard exam successfully. Prafull scored 55% of marks and took admission for ITI draftsman course. While completing the course he turned 18 yrs. He had to leave Observation home as per the rules and law children above 18yrs. Cannot stay in observation home. He was struggling to manage the travel cost of reaching to his college from his home. He approached me for help and CSA immediately provided this timey help by giving him and 2 more boys with their travel cost. Prafull completed the course in first class and got a job in company named Pentagon Assembly Automation Pvt. Ltd. He is earning Rs. 9000/- Per month.

He is now self reliant. Earning for his family, cooking for  himself and his father and evening time attending Jim for body building. He wants to be national or international level boxer and join army. But at the same time to increase his monthly income he have decided to do diploma of Engineering while trying for army recruitments.
