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 10th 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.
