 A new beginning for Takrim
Takrim was referred to Apnalaya by one of the members of the self-help groups. Since Takrim was the only son in the family, his father was reluctant to send him to the day care. His parents were not able to accept that their child is suffering from mental illness. They thought that he could get cured if he gets treated in a private medical place. They thought that Takrim would be mocked in public and so they did not take him anywhere outside the house. Takrim was being fed by his mother and did not go to the toilet on his own. He never even realized when he wanted to go to the toilet since he was not trained. We had been visiting his family for a period of 6 months and were kept informed about the updates on disability and its types. His family was made aware of the fact that their son needs to be trained, through the parents of children who used to come to the day care. His mother got ready to take her child to day care; however his father was still reluctant. They heard that children who had been attending the day care were able to go to a special school nearby. This made the parents change their mind and they started to bring Takrim daily to day care. Takrim comes to the day care daily and a lot of change has been noticed. He eats on his own. If he feels like going to the toilet, he tells the care giver. He wears his own clothes and can speak multiple words. He has developed his social skills and gets around with his friends in day care. He has been able to get admission into Sulbha School for the mentally impaired. His parents are happy and are able to support the disability program as well
 
 Sarfaraz has not lost hope
Sarfaraz was born in their own house. After a month and a half, his mother suffered from TB and died after some time. After a year and a half, he started suffering from partial sightedness. Sarfaraz used to go to school until he was in the 8th standard. However, when he got into the 9th standard, he began to fall sick and used to faint and got episodes of seizures. When he was 6 years old, he used to come to Apnalaya’s Padma Nagar clinic for a general check. He was advised with calcium and other vitamins for his illness. However, his episodes of seizures did not subside; he was thus referred to JJ Hospital. . After a medical check in JJ, he was diagnosed with brain tumour. He was asked to get the tumour operated. His father approached Apnalaya and was able to get some support for his operative procedure. He was also referred to other organisations that support for surgical procedures. He was thus collectively supported and Apnalaya could support him for a mere Rs 5,500 for his surgical procedure. His operation proved successful. However, he was left completely blind and he was left paralysed from the left side of his body. His family did try to avail the Rajiv Gandhi Scheme, but his documents were not complete. He has been supported for medicines from 2012 and is still availing the same.
 
 Salma regains the opportunity to study
Salma’’s home got burnt down ten years ago, when she was very young. Her father’’s life changed at this point, where he became financially insecure and to begin the precarious life of rag-picking. Most rag pickers live in fear of being stopped by watchmen and taken to the police station, losing their entire day’’s work. During this time, Salma reached the legal age to attend formal schooling. As the only breadwinner of a household of 5, Salma’’s father was already burdened with family needs and the education expenses of her two older siblings. Her opportunity of going to school was in jeopardy. Through Apnalaya’’s citizenship program, Salma’’s father has been granted an ID card that makes his work legal. It is through this initial contact with Apnalaya that he learned about the educational sponsorship program. The program has since changed Salma’’s life. Throughout the past 12 years, Apnalaya has been able to fund 50% of Salma’’s educational fees, along with textbooks, notebooks, school uniform, and yearly picnics. Following protocol, Apnalaya approached Salma two years ago to see if she would continue onto class 11; she and her family eagerly accepted the support. Through her partnership with Apnalaya and her determination, Salma strives to perform well at school. Despite the taxing duty of household chores, Salma persists to study 3-4 hours every day. Salma is pursuing her Grade XII currently. She will continue to receive support from Apnalaya for the next year, following which she and her sister plan on going to graduate school. She wants to become a teacher.
