Women power yet again

We might have seen many social workers who contribute their best for a better society, But the lady whom I met is someone who is completely exceptional and quite motivating.

Vijaya Lakshmi, mother of twins who born with CP(Cerebral palsy)problem.They cannot walk. They can just crawl.Their speech will not be clear and their minds are not matured. After experiencing their problems she did a correspondence course in CP, a 1 year course, got trained in Lekadweep,Hyderabad on how to maintain a home for CP kids.

She went to nearby villages and started educating villagers on
-> How actually these kids will be born and what reasons lead the baby's to born with this problems.
-> How these kids need to be treated and what all special care need to be taken?
-> How to educate these kids and how to make them independent?

She started a Home called Sai Mano Teja in 1998.Got rented place for both school and home.Nearby village children get education in school and hostel facilities are provided for children who cannot commute frequently.

She will educate the children on basic things necessary for living and also shares the education on CP problems.All the children will learn on how to make candles and books (similar things which are taught in Lekadweep).

Her Ultimate motto is to give them salary for their little works depending on
the profits which she get in turn....But as of now no profits...

Problems faced by her :

1) Vijayalakshmi & her husband are the only team who runs this home from a period of time. They need some support from any organization so that their home gets recognition from other people so that they can get funds.

2) Everyday the day scholars will commute in Auto back to their homes.She is able to pay only half the money by some how pleasing the auto drives to adjust as she is not having sufficient money.

3) She is unable to pay the amount demanded by the care takers( who will clean and take care of these blessed children)as they are demanding more amount.

4) A cook is kept for hostelers, even she is unable to pay the amount for her monthly salary.

There is a major financial & motivational problem.If we can give her a group strength it will be of great value....for all the efforts which she is placing all along....
