SUCCESS STORY OF SHRAVANI
The baby girl, Shravani 6 years old , was born in Raigarh District of Maharashtra.Her parents were HIV and she lost both of them at an early stage. After death of parents the grand mother tried to take care of both Shravani as well as her elder sister [ HIV child].
Some of close relatives suggested her grand mother to search for orphanage as she was unable to do their works. Both sisters were brought to DESIRE Society care home . She and her sister were admitted two years back. In absence of proper diet and medication they were suffering with opportunistic infections. Her elder sister expired after getting admitted with us. Shravani with a lot of care survived and is gaining weight.
Her health status has improved with proper diet and medication in time.She accommodates with other inmates in care home.She being a quick learner is trained to fight against odds of this disease at such a small age.
The diet and medication in time is monitored every day.She is cooperative in terms of food intake and ART drug adherence. She has improved upon health grounds and taken up for private schooling[ admitted in senior KG grade] this year. It is English medium school and she likes to study there.She is pet of all her teachers in school.She want to become a teacher.
Hope to fulfill her dreams with help of Global Giving contributors. We wish DESIRE as a family to have access to basic core needs of such children in future too.
