After Care Support

Safeguarding the home children from the repercussion of coronavirus Due to the growing cases of corona virus around the world and in India, life has become very difficult for these groups of children. Regular school life, engaging in extra curricular activities, sports and socializing had become a thing of the past. However due to innovative thinking of our management and staff were able to bring back the child’s life experience in the confined of the home. We have 150 children in our care staying in 3 homes at the moment. During this time of crises, a sudden life change becomes very difficult to adapt to, especially for children, hence, we developed a schedule for the children to follow, regularly enhancing their knowledge.

The children are taught about personal hygiene, cleanliness, social distancing, washing hands regularly and wearing face masks. For the safety of the children and the staff we ensured that all the homes were sanitized regularly.

In order to help the children get rid of their stage fear and boost their level of confidence, from time to time we held events and competitions on storytelling, G.K quiz, dance and Zumba where all the children got equal opportunity to showcase their talents and develop the ability to articulate their thoughts into words. A session was held for boys and girls on ‘How to be a Good Writer’. The children were amazed at the significance of using the right words when writing their thoughts on paper. Children also attended a workshop on career guidance which helped them to plan for the future.

Keeping in mind the importance of overall development of the children, the children were given an opportunity to choose any activity of their choice and interest such as gardening, farming, tailoring, cooking, graphic designing, and many more where they learnt many things and polished their skills. Besides this, the children also took part in many outdoor games such as football, badminton and basketball and indoor games such as chess and carom. Every second week of every month, birthdays of the children were celebrated where the child was gifted a present, a cake was cut, with the staff and children singing and praying for the child.

Beginning from the month of June, with all the precautions we have started distance learning from home with new experience for them as well the teachers. The children are taught online through recorded videos and live sessions. Home in-charges are making all the efforts to ensure that the children understand every concept clearly. The respective class teachers take turn to visit the homes regularly to address the queries and difficulty and see that the children are understanding what has been taught and a regular checkup of their academic progress is being done.

During this difficult time we received a number of donations from our sponsors and well wishers. We would like to thank our sponsors and donors for their immense contributions towards the organization. All these activities that we conducted are possible by your help and support. We look forward to your continuous support and love from your side.
