Happy New Year!
Though separated from parents, kids find joy in each other’s company at Asharan!
THANK YOU
Special thanks to all of you who have helped 59 children this year to have another chance to live under love and safety. Among them, we have children who are abandoned for unknown reasons, few who are relinquished by mothers due to their inability to care for their child, few who are the lost children and few who got orphaned due to death of their parents. There are also few who are with us for short term care until their parents become capable of caring for them.
You have helped them to regain their health, re live their childhood; you have helped them with their education, medical and hospital treatment; we were able to have loving caregivers round the clock to care for them as they are of age between infancy to 6 years; few of them being differently able children. You have helped us to give therapies and care to such children. We were able to find the families of 14 lost children this year. We were also able to place 15 children with loving adoptive families.
Without your help we couldn’t have done all these. We look forward to your continued support as the needs are so many. Help us so that more and more homeless children could be helped in the year 2018 also.

Your help does much more than what you could imagine!
Diya is approximately 2 years old. Her father does not stay with her. Her mother left Diya with a neighbor woman so that she could go to work. As told by the neighbor woman, Diya’s mother stopped coming back and is not traceable now. When an NGO found the child, she was critically ill and was highly malnourished. She was brought to Asharan for care and protection. She had to be hospitalized immediately. She had to have blood transfusion, IV antibiotics etc. to rescue her from death due to starvation. We hope that Diya (meaning 'lamp' ) would start shining again as India celebrates the festival of lights..
They had another chance to start their life all over again because of your help.

- In the month of September, a newly born child, Manvi (name changed) was lying in the rain in a park but was rescued by the public. She is growing up to be healthy with timely medical aid and care at Asharan.
- Another new born baby, Samira (name changed) was picked up from the bushes before the stray animals could reach her. She too is thriving.
- A seven years old boy, Kanchan was orphaned after the death of his parents. He has joined the Asharan family and is expecting to start his schooling.
- Eight of Asharan's children will be joining their school this week for the first time. We are still looking for support for their uniforms, books and transportation.
Thank you for reaching out to these children. Please don't hesitate to send in your share of support, so that all the children that come to Asharan could re- live their childhood and look at the future with joy and hope.

Stories of union with parents!
Recently, three year old Neha lost her father. She was staying with her mother Arti who is a victim of burn injuries due to cooking gas cylinder blast. Arti needed two months hospitalization due to an infection on her burns. Though Neha was kept under the care of a relative, she wandered away searching for her mother but fortunately ended up in Asharan. Neha had no clue about her mother and her relatives. Today she is reunited to her mother with the help of police, Child Welfare Committee and ‘Track the missing portal’.
Two years old Sahil is hospitalized due to a brain infection. His health conditions are critical. He was born prematurely and was abandoned at birth. He had clubfoot and developmental delay. A wonderful family with a beautiful heart has adopted him knowing his condition. They sit at his bed side waiting for him to be discharged from the hospital to take him to their home in US.
Asharan has cared for 22 orphaned children in this quarter with all your help. Among them, 5 children were adopted into loving families and 2 children were restored to their biological families. We are grateful to you for being there with these little ones who needed help in times of illness, loneliness, pain & despair.
Thank you
Warm Regards
