What is the best thing that has happened in your life?
Shalini (name changed) says that the best thing that has happened in her life is coming to Asharan orphanage!
If an orphanage is the best place for a 7 year old child, what about the outside world! What about her family and relatives! In Shalini’s words, everyone outside are bad except her “Mausa” whom she used to meet on Rakhi festivals. She came to Asharan along with her 4 years old brother.
Shalini and her brother Nitin (name changed) grew up seeing their alcoholic father physically abusing their mother. Her father passed away in an accident; her mother left the house one day and never returned. Shalini, at a tender age learned to cook food, wash clothes and clean her house. Though her paternal uncles took them home, he too abandoned them after a couple of months. With the help of police and the Child Welfare committee, both children are now placed in Asharan for their Care and protection. They are learning obedience, how to follow rules etc. along with academics. They feel safe, accepted & loved at Asharan.
Asharan Orphanage is a home for young children and babies who are abandoned and lost. Asharan has sheltered and cared for 33 such children this quarter, including infants, toddlers and children with special needs. The quality care, treatment and education of these children largely depends on the contributions that we receive from the generous and good hearted people like you. So let us continue our support.
We would like to thank all of you who have supported the children this quarter monetarily and by giving your time. Your contribution was a huge support to the children here in terms of their food, shelter, round the clock care, clothing, schooling, tuitions, therapies and medicines. May your reward be from the Almighty.
