The smiling boy [now at DESIRE Society Hyderabad Care Home ] was at home with his family. After the demise of his parents [ parents died with HIV ] , Uncle has taken up his responsibility. This boy started falling sick quite often. The tensed relatives took him to Govt hospital.He turned out to be HIV positive too. It was a case of mother to child transmission.
Uncle’s poor economic condition led this boy to suffer. The health condition started deteriorating thereby it was difficult for them to take care of him. His uncle started looking for shelter home. The DESIRE Society outreach worker stays in contact with Govt Hospital so they referred him to us. His stay with family could have led him to suffer more in such situations.
At the admission time, he was quite weak. We have designed specific diet chart for him which took a while for him to gain strength. The ART drug adherence is maintained very well within scope of care home , IDA Bollaram. The supplementary nutrition kit [ Pediasure as one of component ] is added up to give a balanced diet pattern for such special [HIV] child.
The health condition of this boy improved under the supervision of team of doctor and paramedical staff. This led us to have the confidence of sending him to school. He did not had proper schooling at home. He goes to private school [ SSVN school ; 3rd class] at present with focus on over all development of child.He is pet of his teachers because of his innocent look on face. He is quite regular in doing home-work. He is quite sure of studying well in future too.
He is very talented as part of regional [ TELANGANA REGION ] folk singing which he has grasped by heart. The traditional regional dancing is unique with this boy and this could happen even without any trainer teaching him for same. He has started dancing on such traditional songs too.
The continued support from GLOBAL GIVING over the years can make us to strengthen such children’s better living at care home level.
