Success story of Boy Child
The story of this boy is full of sorrow. He was found along with his sister at tender age on streets. His father has abandoned the family due to HIV status. And the mother being HIV was unable to feed both children. She was denied of any household works so left with no source of income. She too died on streets because of this illness.
The District Collector [ Government official] of Sanga Reddy came across this case. They knew about DESIRE Society and its mission to serve such special [ HIV ] children in India. Both children [ HIV reactive status ] were referred to us in 2007. They were not going to school at all.
The boy was suffering with HIV and it is “ mother to child transmission” case. The malnutrition status has led him to be very weak at time of admission in care home level . The boy was put on special diet under strict supervision of medical team [ availability of doctor and staff nurse at care home ] . The ART medication was regulated in timely manner. The ART drug adherence has improved his health status.
The private schooling is initiated for him. He is in class 10th at present. The transition from “NO SCHOOLING TO PRIVATE SCHOOLING" is remarkable achievement. He is passing out in all subjects. His favorite subjects are regional language [Telegu ] and computer learning.
He is disciplined in every sphere of life. He dances well and sometimes composes dance sequences too. He want to be a police personnel as part of his life ambition. We at DESIRE Society are dedicated to fulfill his dreams.
The GLOBALGIVING has come forward with value based addition in limited life span of such children. Also, continued support from GlobalGiving over the years is able to help DESIRE Society to serve children suffering with HIV/AIDS in India.
