One of the biggest challenges is that the children who join Children’s Home, have never been to school before. Mostly the child after joining the Children’s Homes start to attend the school. In fact in most cases they are the first generation who are attending school. So the biggest challenge is when SAMPARC enrols them in school, the admission is as per age under RTE but the child has never attended school. So the in-house staff & tutors take double the efforts to teach from basics. Also it takes time for these children to adjust to school studies as they are way behind than regular school going children as per their age.

Also most of the children enrolled in the Children’s home are from traumatic family backgrounds who need lot of support to overcome their trauma. The Counsellor takes lot of efforts to help children to come out of their difficult traumatic situations. Also when they join Children’s Home they suffer from malnutrition & low HB which runs in the entire family from generations. So special efforts are taken to improve the anaemic condition of the child, like special diet, also efforts are taken to tell children about importance of having nutritious food. At SAMPARC Children’s Home to help children to come out of their difficult situation, help them to improve their confidence and to help them to adjust & get along with all children in school & Children’s Homes many extra-curricular activities are conducted regularly and also the upbringing of the children is in a family environment to help them overcome their stress & trauma.

At present the vision, goal & plan for next 6 months is to focus on improving the education of the children – tutors are giving their best to ensure children are strong with their basics in education and improve and perform well in their exams. Also in-house staff are paying personal attention to ensure all children are healthy. Also the main goal is to develop vision among children to aim high and work hard to achieve goal and become a responsible citizen of nation. All the Activities conducted in the Balgram are meticulously planned for overall development of the children by providing them all possible amenities to ensure their proper rehabilitation, employability and future development.

Nema Ram is from a very poor situation. His father is suffering from T.B. and is unable to earn for the family. His mother works as daily waged labour but most of the time she remains job-less due to weakness. Financial condition of the family is very poor. There is no one else to look after them. So, Nema Ram got admission in SAMPARC Gangani (Jodhpur) Centre to grow up in proper environment with care and scope of education. Nema received admission in SAMPARC on 18.06.2013 and has been brought up in SAMPARC Balgram – Gangani - Jodhpur since his childhood.
