The
organization has been working for the new life
of intellectual disabled making them
rehabilitate in the family as well as in the
community.
To
make the objectives of the organization come
true, we have been regularly operating the
following programs.
Day care Center:
There is a Day Care Center where the
students come to the center in only day time.
They learn as the schedule in this center. The
students stay here for 6 hours i.e. 10 AM to 4
PM in a day. Mainly, they learn educational
activities, behavioral activities, intellectual
functions, activities of self reliant etc. They
also get regular training of speech therapy,
physiotherapy. Besides these athletics, cultural
functions also are included in Day Care Center.
Home Visit Program:
This program covers the persons who are
specially in the remote area. Those persons are
not able to come to the Day Care Center regular
because of the far distance and having
multi-disabilities. We have been providing
regular service for such persons meeting at
their own home individual. We have problems to
give service all of the contacted persons with
our limited man power and resource. So the
program is lunched in the selected area near the
city. In Home visit program, the teachers go to
door to door of the children in a schedule.
Teachers teach the children as well as to the
guardians about teaching method to their
children. Actually, it is tried to make as the
teacher the parents. Secondly, it is tried to
create adequate environment for them in the
family and society.
The
Home Visit program is not only for teaching the
children but also to make good environment in
the society for their rehabilitation and their
life of dignity.
Counseling Program:
This program provides the service for those
persons and parents who cannot join neither Day
Care nor Home Visit service. Mainly the
guardians come to the center with their
children. They get advice, teaching technique,
teaching materials in the program. They come to
the center frequently.
In
the above three programs the children are
directly benefited. We work with them by
touching individual. Secondly there are the
following programs have been continued:
Awareness:
The organization works for the awareness of
mental retardation in the family, society and in
the whole nation. The awareness program helps us
to run our program successfully. On the other
hand, the mentally retarded get good environment
in the society for their development. Specially,
we do aware the people through poster,
pamphlets, handouts, rally, street drama,
convention and conference in the school,
collages, markets, gatherings and so on. Mainly,
it is made aware the people on the mental
retardation, their education, the responsibility
of family, society as well as government.
Advocacy:
There are some advocacy groups of parents.
Different parents groups have different advocacy
groups. In a whole, there is a single group.
They work for the rights of M/R in various ways.
This unit works independently but they get help
with us if needed.
The
advocacy groups work for the over all
development of M/R persons as well as for the
right basis issues.
Rehabilitation:
Though there are lots of goals to catch on in
the life of this organization. In a hand, we
have been focused on in the sector of
rehabilitation. The adults are getting regular
service from here. They are trained in the
vocational job as their interest and capacity.
Such as some of the adults have been working in
this period on goat and pig keeping, farming,
envelop, candle, incense stick making,
tailoring, knitting bag and so on.
The
adults work and earn some money by their
vocational job which helps them to get the life
of dignity in the society. Actually it
disseminates the good message in the society.
The
mild adults have been rehabilitated in various
sectors as their capacity and interest. We have
made trained them in the selected job.
In
this period some adults are rehabilitated in
Goat keeping and Pig keeping though the parents
help them to work but we are satisfied that they
are engaged in a job. Secondly, tailoring is the
popular and success business for them.
We
also help the children to establish on their
business. Some of them are from very poor
families. So, there is project for
rehabilitation. Now there is goat relay program
where the adult get goat from school and it
returns a baby goat later to the school which is
provided to another one.
Secondly, we also help for rehabilitation
financially if we get special donation. We have
some financially poor adults who need some help
to be rehabilitated.
