OUR NEW PROJECT

The new project area taken up by Family Health and Education (FHE) is Mayur Vihar in New Delhi. The place, Yamuna Khadar, is a small village located between Mayur Vihar and the banks of river Yamuna.

ABOUT THEM

There are around 250 families with 6-8 members in each family. The occupants of the village are migrants from Bihar, West Bengal and Orissa. They mainly work in the farmland, which is owned by landlords. They work as bond farmers and get a meager Rs 40 per day as wages. 


The families live in small shanties which lack basic amenities like potable water, electricity and sanitation. Also there is no proper drainage system, which results in mosquito breeding and many infectious diseases. They don’t get nutritious food as they eat only vegetables that are grown in their farm.

A very small chunk of kids attend the school. Others work in the field with their parents. A girl from a nearby area takes classes for them in the evenings.

HEALTH CONDITION

Most of the people are anemic and are infected with parasites. As they work in the field whole day, they have skin infections all over their body. Many of them have never been to a hospital, had vaccinations or taken any medicines in their life.

THE PROJECT

Our project primarily aims at providing them with medical care, vaccinating the children and improving their health.

Our first visit was in the month of March. We have planned to visit them every 15 days.

In our last two visits, we have vaccinated the children and given medicines. In the coming visits, we would like to give them classes on basic hygiene and provide them with nutritious food to fight anemia.

We are grateful to  ‘Feeling India’  for giving them rice, pulses and salt so that they can prepare nutritious food, and also for providing them juice and snacks to increase their glucose level in the hot sun.

We invite people to lend a helping hand in our project by sponsoring medicines, nutritious food and basic healthcare products and taking time out to visit the place, educate the children and volunteer the cause.

NEW PROJECTS

Thanks to the enthusiastic people of Association of ‘3 Grados’, we are able to start a new project in nutrition for children of Hauz Khas Village. The mothers are very happy to learn to make high nutritious food for their children.

CHRISTMAS PARTY AT MGF MALL

Children were invited by Mr.Puneet to celebrate Christmas at the Ice Lounge in MGF Metropolitan Mall, Saket. The party was organized by Miss Rashi Anand and her friend Rubeine on 25^th December, 2010. The children went there in the morning accompanied by Dr. J J Kunnacherry, Ms Maheshwari and Ms Anju. They were welcomed with warmth by the organizers.

The girls were excited to visit such a nice place. They were given special attires before entering the lounge. They danced and enjoyed inside. Once they came out of the freezing temperature inside, they had lunch and met Santa Claus. The girls then played ‘musical chair’ and danced with the ladies. Before leaving, the girls gave them Christmas cards they had made for them and the ladies gifted them beautiful Barbie dolls.

It was a memorable day in the life of the girls!

TESTIMONIAL

Salina Wilson, Volunteer, F.H.E

My journey with F.H.E began five years ago, when I was in the 11^th grade and I went for a medical camp organized by F.H.E at Chattarpur village. Ever since, there was no looking back. I have worked with F.H.E for these 5 years as a volunteer and have been an active member for the educational programme. I have attended several medical camps as well and helped wherever I could.

It was while working in the urban slums of Delhi through FHE that I decided to take up professional social work as a career and I can proudly say that I stuck to my decision which I took in the year 2005. I am presently doing my Masters in Social work from Tata Institute, Mumbai, and even while I was on a vacation, I could not resist coming back to F.H.E and volunteering for the Education project. F.H.E allows me to put my ideas into shape and implement them and I was successful in preparing a module to teach the children of Hauz Khas village. The module involved giving out handouts and worksheets to the children and asking them to work on them post the lecture that I gave them. In the 12 days that I taught them, I could see a significant improvement in them through the responses they were giving.

F.H.E holds a significant place in my life and has been very crucial in making me more responsible and able a person that I am today.
