Support For Teens

Teens at Manavya can be categorized into two the ones staying in the campus and the ones who are now independent and are staying outside the premise. Both in some ways need special care and attention with different behavior patterns exhibited with growing age. We to encounter problems like low self esteem, depression, tantrums etc. We have to deal with these issues with a lot of understanding and handle it with love and care. Special counseling is provided to the teenage children.

Teens in Manavya have been enrolled under a project called Unnati this project caters to their various needs such as nutritional, medical, counseling, emotional and at times even financial support is provided. With strong values and determination these children are living with dignity in the society

Achievements of Teens of Manavya

Manavya saw the 1^st girl who is now a Graduate. A pride moment when Aarti has completed her Graduation and has got a job. She could have worked in many sectors but a choice to work in an NGO for the community speaks more than the words.

Karan and Abhishek who completed their Diploma in Automobiles have been placed in renowned manufacturing companies.

With liking for color and painting Pankaj successfully completed 4^th year of Bachelors in Fine Arts and is now pursuing his final year. With this he got to do some field work where he is gaining practical experience which will prove to be beneficial in getting a job.

Amit is staying outside Manavya, who is a studious student has now been pursuing his Master in Community Development program from Azim Premji University. He recently completed his internship in HIV Youth Development and Equality in Community. His motto in life is very clear he outspoken and never shy’s away from his HIV status this as result of this he is confident.

Shreyas is outside Manavya, has been ill for a very long time we had been worried about his health as it was deteriorating day by day. On getting him admitted at Manavya we were quiet skeptical. But as we always rightly predict Manavya children who are true fighters, he bounced back from his illness and is now searching for a job.

Aarti is staying with Manavya but today she is proud to tell us her experience at her job, she is working as a cashier at a Retail Chain Outlet. Whatever she is earning we are encouraging her to save for the when she moves out of Manavya she is independent. We will no sooner get her married.

Exceptional Teens of Manavya

By Pallavi Shinde | Administrative Officer

Support for Teen

Our teenager have always outcaste the normal line of living to achieve greater heights Teenage brain goes through huge changes and there is always problem is adjusting to the surrounding. We as Manavya often go through this similar situation while dealing with teenage children. But for us every child is special and every child comes across as an outstanding child.

Teens with outstanding records:

Kajal who scored a 1^st class in her B. Com and successfully completed her Advance program in Tally is now helping as an Assistance at Manavya Office. Under the guidance of Manavya staff Kajal is learning most of the work related to administration and is enjoying every moment of learning.

Sushama and Sangram both the children have always had academic inclination. We often see these two children achieving big dreams in their life. We great aspiration we admitted them into Electronics Diploma and not letting us down both the children flared out with flying colors. Both the children have also procured a job for themselves and the amount has been deposited as a provision for these children once they move out of the institute

Anjali who was pursuing her 11^th Home Science in Electronics stood first in her college. A child who has fought all the odds of HIV disease and stood first in a class this is an exceptional achievement for this child. She is hardworking girl with a very sober demeanor. She want to pursue an Electronics Engineering and this is the first leap that she has taken.

Teenager were sent for a workshop that was organized by Prayas. This workshop aimed at giving exposure to the children in life skills. It was conducted outside the premise of Manavya thus giving the children a leverage to understand world beyond the institute. The teenager going for the workshop get an opportunity to interact with the children of other institutes thus making them rich in their experience.

The project that we have initiated for the adolescent children has yield greater results. They are now able to follow daily chores on their own. The children are living on their own become more self-realizing. We have seen tremendous changes in these children where they have become more responsible. They are independently handling the every little aspect of their life like cooking, travelling etc.

By Pallavi Shinde | Administrative Officer

Komal going out to explore newer horizons

With two projects which are the brain baby of Manavya which target the teens are yielding set results for past 3 months. Thought these projects are in the premises of Manavya yet thsy have given an edge to these teens to live a life of their choice. With a limited budget given they now have an experience as to how it to live a life outside the residential care center. The children do the daily chores on their own and even have to cook food for themselves. This has bought a new confidence in these children where they have to cater to the daily chores as well as their colleges and schools.

After the children reach the age of maturity generally thay have to leave the center to explore the outside world. They again have to be a part of the socio ecomic system.This process of rehabitation begins with he children being placed at te project for 18 years. At project the children are monitored by our expertised staff and when the time is right these children are guided back to the community. One of our girl Komal was rehabilated in the community.

Ramesh who was pursuing his Surveyors program at ITI Bhare, made Manavya proud by scoring a distinction with 88% for the program. Today before the result were out he had been selected for a job of surveyor.

One of child who completed a Diploma in Agricultural Technology was able to get a job of his liking as well as his competency. Today he is residing on his own, but is under the wings of Manavya through a project named Unnati. In this project all the children who have moved out of the institute are proved with nutritional, medical, counselling and at times financial aids. Sudarshan has always been an introvert at the institute but today he is entrusting in flagship in newer territories.

Sandeep another child of Manavya completed a Diploma at Pabal where he specialized in a program which gave him the knowledge of technical aspects. On the basis of this he was able to grab a job. But this is not where Sandeep stopped he is now pursuing a Diploma in Computer from a Technical Board.
