[Guest guest]

Dear group members,

Please dont use the word of ORPHANAGES. Thinks about how the chidren feel about

that word.

 

We must Change the word-  they are   PARENT LESS  

 

We need your valuable suggestion.

There is an excellent care program for the HIV infected children (CLHIV) in

Bangalore (run by the Camillian priests) called the *Sneha Care Home*,

assiciated to Snehadaan CCC.

Started in 2008 with 20 infected kids, now the program is taking care of 85

children (by providing a comprehensive care package) of which majority of the

children are single or double orphans.

The centre is functioning in close collaboration with NACO, KHPT and KSAPS.

It has now become a model program cum Learning Site that offers professional

support to those in the same field.

Kindly visit our website in the following link for more details.

Dear Chezhian,

I completely agree with you as it carry stigma and make children very

uncomfortable. How about calling them " Children's Nest "   or " Anand Ghar " or

" Mamta Ghar " .

Just a few suggestions.

Dear J.CHEZHIAN and the forum,

Re:

When an emotion behind a word is treated with helplessness then it sounds

stigmatizing. Its a good idea to change the term to something which sounds more

empowering.

I would suggest to call such kind of centers as " support homes " or " Incubation

homes " or " Incubation center " instead of orphanages or parentless.

I believe, that every individual, whether with parents or Parentless, needs an

Incubation cell where they are provided an environment which helps them to

stimulate their true potential to their best.

Therefore according to me " Orphanage " term can be replaced by " Incubation

Center " also.

Dear Sadhna,

Way back in 2008, there was a call by NACO for Community Care Centres for

Children. They were to open 10 such centres throughout India.

I recently filed an RTI application to seek information on those centres. I was

replied that 6 NGOs are running such centres. See the list below:

Sivananda Rehabilitation Centre, AP

Kukatpally, Rangareddy District, Hyderabad

Damian Leprosy Centre, AP

Vegavaram, Gopannapalem, West Godavari

Mannavya CCC, MH

46/3/1, Laxman Villa, Flat No. 13, Paud Road, Pune

Naz Foundation India Trust, Delhi

A-86, NEast of Kailash, New Delhi

St. Annes Care Centre, TN

P. Box. 8, Tirunagar, Madurai

Social Awareness and Service Organization, Manipur

Uripok Sinam Leikai, Imphal

It would be interesting to know from the forum, whether these centres are still

supported by NACO and are still functioning

Dear Sadhna,

Re:

There is a community care center at Tirunelveli, Tamilnadu exclusively for

children infected with HIV and Children born to HIV parents orphan or

semi-orphan run by HOPE Foundation International, with the support of Tamilnadu

State AIDS Control Society in turn by NACO.

It has the facility to accommodate 50 children. Now more than 45 children are

being cared. Facility for good food, accommodation, medical and treatment

facility ( link to nearby ART center)study, schooling, educational tour,

extracurricular activities etc.

It is successfully functioning for past two and half years. It has restored many

children back home to their close relatives.Initially TANSACS allowed them to

keep them up to 14 years, now they have extended up to 18 years.

Even after this age these children are restored to some other home or orphanages

as the HOPE Foundation International has the facility in other places.

I think similar community care centers are running in Tamilnadu with the help of

TANSACS in other two more places.

This is for your kind information.

Dear Forum members,

Orphanage can be replaced by Home for the Children/ Home Away from Home or Home

for the Needy, because all the services provided to them are in par with Home

services, hence I would like to suggest the above three names, any one name from

the three will be a good replacement.

Its the duty of every person to give a second thinking before giving a name to

the institution, by seeing the name, the children who are joining the centre and

their parents or guardians, who have come to join them should feel good and

relieved, rather than feeling sad or depressed by the name itself.
