Ramilaben is working in Manav Sadhna as a librarian. She also works in Ghodiyaghar. She saw some children walking on the road and street without socks. Ramilaben felt that we should give socks to them. Therefore we collected rupees from Akshaypatr from students and gave it to Ramilaben. She was able to distribute socks and play with these children.
On 13th January Manav Sadhna celebrated the kite festival with children in vangha stadium which is in the slum of Ramapir's tekro.Manav Sadhna distributed kites to all the children, who were very happy and had great fun flying them!
The nature conservation foundation works on saving birds, especially in Uttarayan. many birds die in this festival so they want to spread awareness about making this festival safer we would all start to use simple threads, and about bird saving, that if/when we see an injured bird, explaining where we can bring it for treatment.

In the Sabarmati we have screened films of panchtantra and safaino sanedo and our audience was younger girls. After that we talked about girl’s education and personal hygiene. Among the 20 girls, only 3 girls are continuing their education and all the other girls are doing nothing.
So we are trying to have these girls come to the manav sadhna center to get non-formal education.

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.
