This is a story of child who lost her
conscious and became mentally challenged as
a result of severe tragic incident of the
demise of her beloved father and mother. She
was too young and quite normal before this
traumatic incident took place and could not
bear this irreparable loss and became
mentally upset.
Farzana belongs to an
indigent family comprising of seven girls.
Suffering from abject poverty; lack of the
very basic necessities of life, support and
supervision, the survival of the family was
a disheartening task. All her sisters
remained illiterate as they couldn’t afford
the school fee and educational expenses.
Compounded by all these factors, the mental
condition of Farzana deteriorated day by
day. Instead of providing proper care and
supplementing the paternal and maternal love
and affection, her sisters treated her as a
burden.
CEENA being a
responsive and community based welfare
organization did not remain silent and set
out to bring this family out of their grim
situation. Farzana along with two younger
sisters were brought to CEENA and admitted
in school. When she came to CEENA, she was
so weak and desperate that she was even
unable to pick her meal and take care of her
cleanliness. Now she has shown significant
improvement as a result of proper therapy,
treatment and meticulous efforts. She’s now
attending the school for Special People. In
addition to education, she is also taught
the social, house-hold and other skills to
enable her to lead a normal life. Now she’s
steadily recovering and hopefully she will
join the mainstream. |
