Rescue Junction Supports Street Children in India

Hello Friends and Supporters of Rescue Junction,

This is Riya from Rescue Junction with my second update. I hope you are all well and I send you festive greetings from Bihar!

As you know I am the new Rescue Project Director and I have discovered I have much to learn. I have been so impressed with the dedication of the staff here, many of whom have years of experience in addition to their special training.

My goodness me you have to be able to react quickly when you work here! As what each new day brings is unknown. Our staff are a constant presence on the station and can come through the door with children who have been abused or are running away, or are simply lost.  We have to respond immediately to reports of children in trouble or in distress.

And then little Aiysha was admitted brought to us after medical checks after being thrown away in a plastic bag on the dry bed of the river, luckily two boys found here and called childline on 1098 the toll free number we attend to 24 hours a day . She was only a few hours old and would not have probably survived for much longer. The name “Aishya” means alive and well. She will remain in our care for some time, looked after by trained nurses until adoption proceedings have taken their course. What is not understood is that whilst all the abandoned babies that have come through Rescue Junction have been girls, there is on the other hand a long waiting list of families wishing to adopt them within India. Aishya will have a bright future.

I would like to thank you all for your wonderful support and I hope you have a pleasant peaceful and fulfilling festive time of year.

With Kind Regards,

Riya
