Entering a garden in its full bloom tingles
the furtherest corner of our hearts. The variegated
flower of bright colours and sweet fragrance
refreshes everyone's hearts, mind and even souls.
It is the distintness of each flower that adds
to the overall beauty of the garden. For a while
one is forced to marvel at nature and the gardener
for maintaining the beauty of the garden.
The children adorn this world like the flowers
in the garden. Every child is an unique creation
of god. They are god's gift to this world to
constantly energise and enliven it. God is a
matchless designer and he has designed every
individual distinctly. Even the children, who
by the accident of fate suffer from some physical
or mental hadicap, have some unusual traits
which may be a rare attribute in children with
normal features and vice versa. But the society
has created its own standards to grade individuals.
Without giving thoughtful attention to the different
qualities of different child it rates children
as per the set standard. This build unwanted
pressure on the tender minds of children, who
fail to meet the society's norms.
The child gets nutured by this parents and
the society of which child and his family forms
a part. Though parents are the source from whom
a child gets his identity but still each child
is a distinct individual in oneself. A child's
innocent smile can be his/she best introduction,
but the unscrupulous society overlooks its goodness
to subdue it by financial. The child becomes
an object of social ridicule hence undermining
his confidence.
There are children who undergo mental trauma
due to parents irresponsible behaviour, like
the children of divorced parents. The child
suffers emotionally due to absence of congenial
family atmosphere. He/She lacks the love filled
company of both parents togethers.
In this way and various other ways the pressure
builds up in its subtile to expressed forms
on child's mental and emotional health. The
manifestation may lead a child to grow with
psychological disorder. Some get depressed to
the extend of committing suicide. Others become
so despiseful for the mankind that they grow
up to take revenge from the whole society for
their childhood experience. They end up becoming
antisocial elements like terrorists or hooligans.
Children are the assets of the whole civilization.
It is responsibility of the whole society to
redress the pain being caused to these children.
"Self Help" is an organization working
towards the objective of restoring lost confidence
in the children. We teach them to take various
hardships as challanges, and to take these children
to accept facts and live with them. We bring
out a child's individually by following the
policy of 'empathy and not sympathy'.
Our organization helps the children to harnes
their best potentials by arousing their inner
conscience. It teaches them that the inner strength
can transcend all physical & mental weakness
and it will help win a place for themselves
in this world. The organization helps awaken
these children to their hidden potentials to
become productive citizens of society. We make
these children realize their responsibility
towards the fellow beings, their society and
their country, as an individual. We instil confidence
in each child such that they can bear society's
callous behaviour graciously and grow up as
an asset for the country and not the liability. |
