Progress Update
Name-Kashish
Age- 13 years
Background
Kashish, along with her sister was transferred from Arushi Residential Centre of SBT in Gurugram, Haryana to Udaan Centre o the order of Child Welfare Committee as the she hails from Delhi. She has a sociable personality and is popular amongst her peers. Kashish is a bright effervescent child. The staff has been friendly and encouraging with her because of which she has settled well in Udaan and has even made friends with girls of her age and has reciprocated well with the staff members.
Kashish’s father was suffering from a terminal disease. Her mother without any financial support and source of income was not in a position to raise her both daughters living on the streets. The mother was then presented before the Child Welfare Committee, where she emphatically expressed her inability to provide for her daughters adequately and desperately hoped to protect the rights of her daughter to education and health. Thus, she made the difficult choice of sending her daughters to child protection institutions. The Committee then directed the admission of Kashish and her sister to Arushi Centre, from where they were transferred to Udaan Residential Centre. In spite of initial teething problems, the Arushi and Udaan teams were able to build a strong rapport with Kashish and she adjusted well to the Udaan Centre’s environment. Kashish has been performing well in her studies and other activities of the Centre.
