Hopes Never Fails
24 year ago Amba family was blessed with
the girl child named her Pooja and just after
2 years with the boy child Deepak. The family was filled with happiness
and rejoicing,but soon the rejoice turned into sorrow and trouble filled into the
atmoshphere . When the family came arcoss the fact that both the kids are
speech and hearing impaired .
The parents “intially faced a lot of problem in communicating and understanding
things , due to lack of communictaion they were not having the level of
understanding and bonding that a
children and a parents usually share.”
Pooja nd deepak not only faced problem in
communicating with their parents but also felt ignored by the society as well.
The kids of same age wer not able to intract well and at times even ended
teasing the both of them. However it happened
unintentionally but it did happen which was the basic reson which make the kids
felt ignored. They were not able to play outdoor games due to lack of friends
and other such issues.
But
soon parents were enlighten about the ‘Sethi Anand Poddar School’ which was a
Goverment gift for such children. The school has different type of syllabus
from general school. They taught how to recognize things by touching and lip
reading. To cater to the special needs of these children,the specially trained
teachere are hired . The school not only provide the education to these
students but also helps theirs parents in understanding the sign language and
also building a good relationship within the parents and kids.
When the parents talked about the school
with children, they got exicted and showed very much intrest in the idea of
beings the part of this organisation. The kids got the place to learn and
explore various things, slowly and gradually the understanding within the
family increased. As the kids were now able to express themselves and parents
were also learning to understand them.
The intial days of school were fine but
latter the children started giving false excuses for not attending the school.
The reson behind it was the atmosphere of the school. As the schools was
lacking with the basic facilties such as furnitures , no claen water for
drinking , the students were not given the proper education as they were not
tought english, general knowledge, skill development, science, mathematics many
others. Beacuse of all this the intrest of the kids started decreasing. The
parents tried to find out the reason behind this and started looking forward
the conculsion.
However they did got this benift of admitting
their wards in sethi school because their they came to know that the kids can
hear with the help of hearing machines. The father immediately left for delhi
to collect the pair of machine for their kids. As they were filled with
happiness cause finally now the kids can atleast listen to them ,grand step
towards building the loving relation was taken by gifting the machine.
After 5 years the parents took the biggest or can be
said as the wisest decision of their wards life. By bringing them in the normal
enviroment among the normal people . They admitted their wards in a normal
school where the mother works. Though
the staff members and the children co-oprated well with them . But sometimes
their are situations which put these kids in delimma or in bad phase basically
it happens when they tried to convey somthing and unfortunately they fail. The
boy in such situations brust out in anger and do various harmful activity which
causes harm to himself. The major issues and the problem was “lack of
communication”. They were not able to express their feelings properly.
With every passing day kids started
participating in various cultural activities like the dancing, theartes and
specifically showed interst in art and the boy started building up intrest in
computers. They qulified secondary exams with 1st division. After
seeing the results the parents motivated even more. The kids then showed the
interest in particular area and asked for the dipolma courses.Till now the
journey was quite smooth as they were surrounded by the protective sheild of
their parents. But now the journey will be bit dificult for them .
On
this deepak expressed “i know driving but my parents never allow me to go by
myself and even the goverment does’nt provide us the license. We tried
travelling in public transport the experience was so bad that i don’t even wish
to recall it and after that incident our
parents never allowed us for the next time."
Other then conveyance the problem
faced in this insitutes was the teachers
speaks too fast which made even more difficult for us to understand the lessons.
Apart from it we never get friends so easily it takes a lot time to get one so
the emotional support that the people of our age get with friends and such
other relation we lacked in that as well. But as it was our area of interest so
we somehow managed, worked hard and tried to achieve the goal as soon as they
can.”
The next hurdles was job, the girl
tried to join various beaty parlour but failed to join any as she was rejected
by the owners cause of her deformity as they all rejected her by saying you
can’t communicate with the customer and the kind of work we are having
interaction is the key. She was already insulted, humiliated to an extent that
she thought of giving up from everything. But then parents supported her a lot
get a shop in near society were she started her own parlour at small scale. She
did faced problem in dealing with the customers but her work and determination
was soon apprecited by the society and she manged to extent her parlour. She
after having experience moved to delhi for expanding her work.
On the other hand the boy was too going
through all this but he managed to get into the company with the reputed
desigation. Deepak too showed gratitude towards their
loving parents and said they always motivated us . They taught us to have a dream and to form a path to achieve
them. Clearing the interview was the toughest part of all but every single time I failed and came back home my parents motivated me and pushed me to appear for the next
one. Within the few weeks one company called me back took demonstration and
hired me as designer.
now we have started guiding the students and helping them in their lives , We inspired them by saying "when there is a Will; there ia a way.
