Girl Power, helping girls recover from abuse

Namaste Everyone! 

Hope this report finds you well!

 So hot here in Bihar, we are waiting for the rains to come !

 We are as busy as ever here, we are providing water drinling failties together with our partners at the station in order to help the public combat the extreme heat.

 Our work with our special unit for girls continues with your wonderfull support .

 I thought we would talk a little about the often new born babies who come to us for protection and care. New born or very very young babies are left sometimes where they will be found and sometimes like the baby above thrown in bushes and left to die  Luckily the cries of the distressed child are often heard and save its life.

  Although we are not an adoption agency our role is crucial in finding a forever home for the children that come to us. We have a specialised team that cares for the babies and very young children in our care. Our priority is the wellbeing of the child as always of course and the team concentrate on excellent physical care along with trying to identify relatives that can be committed to this new life and provide a safe and secure home. Sometimes the child is, after all the safeguards have been completed sent for adoption through an approved government agency and with the permission of the local child welfare committee. There are many good Indian families whom wish to adopt girls. 

The staff were very happy to receive this mail from one of the first babies we received into our care (now 17 years old) Shanti (we have changed the name in accordance with trust privacy policy but nothing else)   

 Dear kind staff at Rescue Junction,

 Obviously, I don’t remember it but my parents have told me what happened to me and the loving care I got at Rescue Junction. As I approach my 18^th Birthday and my training to become a nurse I want to thank you for the part you played in giving me a wonderful life,

 God Bless you all”

Shanti 

 Thank you all once again,

Gopa Sinha
