In 2002 a group of enthusiastic individuals decided to work for disabled children. The main aim was to rehabilitate them and to help them become a useful member of the society. Keeping in view the basic aim a survey was conducted in the remote area of central Punjab, mainly the surroundings of the Gujar khan, the biggest tehsil of Punjab. Survey revealed shocking results about the miserable life of the disabled children. A vast majority of the people of Pakistan is poor, they have limited financial resources, and lack of education and no basic health education makes the life of these disabled children more miserable. Due to the financial problems most of these disabled children go into the hands of a mafia of people who use them as "baggers" to fulfill their own vested interests-they become just a mere tools in the hands of the cruel people. Those disabled children who belong to the well off families face different problems then the one mentioned above. In the remote areas there are no basic education institutions that can cope with the needs of these special children. Even the big cities lack such facilities. These are a few problem faced by this segment of society. Other social problems also need to be addressed like how to educate people to deal with special people. There are two types of attitudes towards special children in our society. First kind is people make fun of them, laugh at them, or call them names. Second type is of those people who are too sympathetic towards them. We think both these kinds needs to be educated so we made this part as an essential part of our struggle. So our work was classified into different segments. First part of our struggle was to get those children out of the grasp of the baggers mafia who are being forced to become baggers. Return them back to their parents of guardians and if they are not ready to accept them find other means for their rehabilitation. The second part was to provide means for them to get the basic needs of life- food and medical treatment. The third and most important part was to educate them. In this regard we emphasize on basic education and skill development. Our aim was to develop such skills in them that they not only learn to live on their own. Do everyday cores independently, and at then end they become a useful member of the family. Skill development also included the program of making them financially self-dependent. When these efforts were going on our team of councilors held public seminars to educate general masses how to interact with these special children. They educate the people how to first become a part of their world and then make them an essential part of their world. After a long struggle of almost five years we have changed the life of 188 children and helped them become normal individuals. In other sections of this website you will find more about them and the results our struggle generated.
