Sabarmati film screening

Date: 7 December

Centre: Sabarmati

Film: Ladali

STORY:

Today I showed a film on pre-birth sex determination and after showing that film; I started discussing on the same with those women. They told me that they want only male-child as they would be able to continue and extend their families in future. So boys are more favored in their families. People also start taunting if a Girl-child is born.

To make them understand the value of a daughter in the family and also their equal position in the society, we asked them a question,” if your son can do everything and continue your family then why do you want him to get married and want a good bride for him?” Almost all the women present agreed but some of them argued that their families and in-laws don’t support them so they are helpless. At that time, Rekhabahen Rathod told us her story. She is working as a helper in an Aanganwadi no-64 in Satyakeval Nagar in Gandhivas for four years. When she was expecting her first child her in-laws refused to bear expenses of her medication. So she immediately left her in-laws’ house and now it has been 12 years, she is living with her daughter with all her dignity intact, all alone.

We also got to know a very touching story of a mother-in-law who has three grand-daughters. She told us that for her, son and daughter are same and always will be. One of the helpers told us that the youngest granddaughter was very sick before two months and had only 4% blood in her body. With the help of Aanganwadi helpers and constant care and support from grandmother, she has got 4% increase in her blood.

Film:Breast feeding (UNICEF)

Purpose : બહેનો સાથે વાત કરતા ખબર પડી કે તેમને સ્તનપાન કરાવવામાં તકલીફ પડે છે અને ઘણી બહેનોનું પહેલું બાળક હોવાથી તેમને કોઈને એ વિષે પૂછવામાં સંકોચ થાય છે એટલે આજે સ્તનપાન વિષે ફિલ્મ બાતાવાયી.

Story :ગયા મંગળવારે આપણે તેમને શિશુ સંભાળ ની ફિલ્મ બતાવી હતી અને તેમની સાથે વાત કરવાથી ખબર પડી કે બહેનોને સ્તનપાન કરાવવામાં ઘણી તકલીફો પડે છે.

રૂપલબહેન અશોકભાઈ ઠકોર નામે એક બહેને હમણાં સપ્ટેમ્બર મહિના માં એક તંદુરસ્ત બાબા ને જન્મ આપ્યો છે ,

તે બાળકના જન્મના આશરે ૧૦ દિવસ પછી તે બાળક કમજોર થવા લાગ્યું અને તેને હોસ્પિટલ માં દાખલ કરવું પડ્યું. ડોક્ટરની તપાસના અંતે ખબર પડી કે તે બાળક ના પેટ માં એક ટીપું દૂધ પહોંચ્યું નથી એટલે તેની હાલત બગડી ગઈ હતી.તે બહેન શરમ અને સંકોચ ને કારણે કોઈને પોતાની તકલીફ કહી નહોતા શકતા એટલે એ બાળક ની હાલત બગડી હતી. અત્યારે ડોક્ટર ની સલાહ પ્રમાણે દવા લેવાથી તે બહેન સારી રીતે સ્તનપાન કરાવી સકે છે અને તે બાળકની હાલતમાં પણ સુધારો છે.

रामापीर का टकरा,,,,,

बहोत बड़ा slum ........

कहेने को ये झोंपड पट्टी है ,लेकिन यहाँ की देखा जाये तो ये आम लोगो के जीवन से धबकता हुआ दिल है .

जमा पूंजी

इनके घर पर कोई securiti गार्ड नहीं है,

क्यूंकि ये अपनी जमा पूंजी तिजोरियो में नहीं,

पर अपने बच्चो के पेट

में खाने के रूप में डालते है.

ये खुश है

ये खुश है क्यूंकि इनकी इनकी दुनिया इनके बच्चो में समाई है.

हा बेसक इनको ये नहीं पता की दुनिया कितनी आगे बढ़ रही है,

पर इन्हें ये पता है जहासे इनके बच्चे आगे बढ़ने वाले है .

Lok Darsan video community

Video Community (Lok Darshan) : we have initiated a program, which enables the creation of Independent Video Units within local community itself. This would help community to create their own short films, video presentations and other media projects to generate awareness of various issues they are working towards. The process involves training filmmaking and media to a group of people from lower income group and making them video community producer so that they can go back and create video units and in return be self-employed. Awareness is also created by having regular film screenings in these communities and showing them films on health, sanitation and education.

TOUR OF KANKARIYA LAKE

Buses full of smiles, 120 children living at Ashramshala hostel were treated to an exciting outing at Kankaria Lake. Dressed to impress for the special occasion, the boys and girls patiently waited for their boat ride around the Lake. Laughing together and energized after their water adventure, they climbed out of the boats not expecting to see the next surprise that awaited them around the corner. The kids began jumping up and down at the sight of the choo choo train heading their way. One by one, they sang Gujarati tunes as they piled into the train carts. Looping around the lake, the kids scanned the surrounding scenery of colored lights, smelled the tasty nasto stands, and eagerly waved “bye!” to every passerby.

Thinking their fun was at its end, Manav Sadhna provided yet another treat—dinner followed by ice cream for dessert. Kids, staff, and volunteers all grabbed a seat at picnic benches to share the excitement of the night and share a full plate of food together. The night not only brought happiness to each child, but created a deeper sense of community amongst the entire group and made the staff feel just as young at heart.

The Woman Empower

Radhaben Maheshbhai Dantani
Age 21

Radhaben lives on the corner of the Prabodh Rawar Bridge in a house held up by two poles covered with a tarp. Gramshree’s own Chandrikaben found Radhaben and discovered that she was widowed at the young age of 21, and she was left with three children – a three year old daughter, a two year old daughter and a seven month old son. Her husband had died of cancer two months earlier. Helpless and without a proper source of income, Radhaben turned to begging as a means to support her family. Luckily, Chandrikaben found her and introduced her to Gramshree where she was able to apply some of her skills. She started work on a project where she created new crafts from recycled materials. To help Radhaben support herself and care for her children while she settled into her new work, Manav Sadhna gave her and her family 1100 rs. worth of food to last at least one month. Once a month she will also receive 10 kg of wheat as she is now also part of a program Manav Sadhna has set up to support widowed women. In addition, her two eldest children have been placed in one of the Manav Sadhna preschools. One month after her first encounter with Manav Sadhna, Radhaben has adjusted to her new job and is gaining the motivation and strength to sustain and support her family on her own.
