We are happy to announce that the 20 years

of KIRAN have brought lots of happiness to

the hearts of our differently-abled children

and youngsters, and raised a spirit in them to

become more & more successful in their lives.

The Annual KIRAN Newsletter is a way of

approaching individuals who are unaware of

KIRAN's services, or the medium through

which we can display the activities and

talents of our differently-abled children and

youngsters in front of other people from our

area and society. Hence, the annual

newsletter is distributed free of cost to all

our supporters to make them aware of the

objectives, mission and vision of KIRAN

towards which it has been working for the

last two decades. However, any kind of

contribution to the newsletter is highly

appreciated, so that the printing and postal

cost towards the edition of the newsletter

could be covered.

I am thankful to all i.e. children, trainees,

staff, volunteers and supporters who have

supported me for the write-ups for this

year's newsletter edition. For any kind of

20 years of KIRAN!

2

This quote from Hilde Domin stayed with me for a long time throughout the KIRAN adventure. There are moments when I tell myself: “Don't get tired Sangeeta, don't get tired!” Maybe some people find it strange, that I call KIRAN a wonder, a miracle. But: Are there not smaller and bigger wonders in our daily life? Maybe we don't listen carefully enough. Maybe we don't see them. But they happen!

When I look back to these 20 years, one special occasion comes to my mind. Maybe the one which had the biggest impact on me: The moment when I knew all of a sudden, after meeting the severely disabled woman called Hema in the South of India, that I should do something for disabled children. And the wonder was, that I got enough energy and trust despite all the difficulties to make this idea a reality.

The second wonder, which comes into my mind, is that my wish for KIRAN to become a multi-faith creation where Hindus, Muslims and Christians work together on an equal basis in a friendly way could be realized. The acceptance of this dream of mine by the children, the employees and the committee members was and remains very important for me. The fact also that in KIRAN disabled and Non-disabled children live and work together in mutual acceptance is another joy for me. I dare to hope, that this integration-system teaches all of the children TOLERANCE for the rest of their lives.

And above all it is a wonder, that so many friends and institutions from Switzerland and from several countries, and increasingly now also from India, realized our need for help and started to support us with great concern with small and large contributions. Now these partners of ours count on us that we may give our service to the differently-abled children as professionally and as lovingly as possible.

One more wonderful thing that was done in this 20th year of service was the opening of the professional

school called the Human Resources Training Centre (for cerebral palsy affected children). It was a day full of unforgettable impressions when 25 young students started their diploma Course at KIRAN. Hopefully they will learn, beside expert knowledge

and skills, to let grow in their heart a special love for differently-abled children, so that KIRAN may become through them also a “ray of hope and joy” for many more children. And I would tell these students as well: “Don't grow weary…it is worth the trouble!”

We inaugurated the carpentry unit where trainees acquire expertise in the said trade, along with the food processing and preservation unit, which was inaugurated after completing its construction in November. This teaching unit will teach differently-abled trainees to prepare preservatives such as Jam, Pickles, Tomato Ketchup, etc, which will be launched for sale in the market.

We have applied for our Vocational Training Department to be registered under the Vocational Training Provider (V.T.P.), which is recognized by the “Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment”.

“20 years of KIRAN” A joyful celebration

On 2nd and 3rd October KIRAN celebrated its 20th anniversary with a big, colorful and cheerful festival. For over a month, the staff members, school children and trainees had been working very hard to prepare this joyful event. As the big day moved closer, nearly every day rehearsals were going on and all the children and trainees were very motivated practicing their dances, songs and drama again and again, until their teachers were satisfied. Everyone joined hands to embellish the KIRAN compound and together the staff members decorated the walls of the main hall with traditional Indian paintings and put chains of lights, multicolored flags and balloons up in the trees. Even the paths were decorated with colored footsteps and mandalas and the horticulture team worked hard to bring the trees, bushes and lawns in perfect shape.

In the end all the hard work paid off and more than 1000 guests came to KIRAN-Center to become part of the big anniversary. Friends and family-members of the staff and the children, people from the city and the surrounding villages, as well as friends from abroad, everyone shared some wonderful moments and enjoyed the cultural program.

The KIRAN-family was very honored to welcome many special guests, like, Shri Anil Shrivastava, Representative of Shri Mukul Vasanik, Minister of Social Justice and Empowerment, New Delhi,

Dr. Philippe Welti, Swiss Ambassador in Delhi,

Mr. Ravindra, District Magistrate of Varanasi, Reverend Bishop Raphy Manjaly of the Varanasi Diocese, Mr. Urs Keller, President of the KIRAN Foundation Switzerland, Mr. Urban Zehnder, President of the KIRAN Friends Association Switzerland, Shri Wangchuck Gyalpo, Asian Director of Partner Organization SOIR-IM, and “Les amis de l'Inde”, our longstanding partners from Luxembourg.

Before entering the Main Hall, where the cultural program was organized, the visitors had the time to visit the stalls and got information about the diversified activities in KIRAN, bought products made by the trainees or join the Indian KIRAN Friends Association (IKFA). Large boards depicted the history of KIRAN and many people were very happy when they recognized themselves in the old pictures.

Together with the Chief Guest and the special Guests, Bahan Sangeeta, KIRAN's Executive Director, inaugrated the program with the lighting ceremony. The children and trainees proved to be talented actors and presented the play “Sawa Ser Gehu” written by Shri Munshi Premchand, a famous Indian author. The play revolved around the central character named Shankar, who was a very poor farmer. One day Shankar borrowed 1 ¼ kg of wheat from Maharaaj, who was a wealthy farmer from the same village. Due to his critical condition, he was incapable of returning the borrowed quantity of

wheat as a result within a short time it went up to 250 kg and ultimately to Rs. 1200. Shankar was unable to pay this huge amount of money therefore, his whole family was tortured by Maharaaj and his cohorts. At the end Shankar died due to excess laborious work and Maharaaj takes all his property.

In the occasion of its 20th year celebrations, we organized a Symposium on “Cerebral Palsy, Treatment and Rehabilitation in Indian Rural Context” on Sunday 7th November at K.N. Udupa Auditorium, Banaras Hindu University.

Why did we choose the topic of Cerebral Palsy (CP) for our symposium? In fact, CP is the most common cause of child physical disability in the world, affecting from 2.0 to 4.0 children per 1000 live births, and though the exact prevalence in India is not known, we have reasons to think that it is not inferior. The disturbances that occur in the developing brain result in a wide variety of movement disorders that persist from childhood into adult life. Main causes of CP are intrauterine infections, developmental

malformations, preterm birth, birth asphyxia, malnutrition, postnatal infections and injuries affecting the developing brain. Early identification of

the condition and early intervention for treatment and

rehabilitation are important for the goal of helping the child develop at the maximum of his/her possibilities. Counseling and sustaining parents in dealing with the child affected by CP is essential for the global benefit of the family. A family-centered approach is considered the best one. Due to its complexities, both from the medical/rehabilitative and family/social point of view, CP is considered a model of the disability problem, a problem that directly or indirectly touches everybody's life.

The Symposium has been an important occasion for discussion regarding how to give quality services to all the disabled children affected by CP, given the limitation of resources we are facing, both economic and professional, especially in the rural setting.

In fact, the Rehabilitation, Education and Social Integration of Children and Youth affected by CP is often a very challenging task, even in an ideal setting where good services are easily accessible and where medical doctors, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, special educators, speech pathologists, psychologists and social workers collaborate in a harmonious team-approach; thus the present situation in most of our rural villages, and also in urban areas is all the more challenging.

Speakers have been Medical Doctors and Heads of Organizations serving Cerebral Palsy Children, all renowned specialists in the field: Prof. B.D. Bhatia and Dr. R. Prasad both of Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi; Dr. A. Gupta, NIMHANS, Bangalore; Dr. A. Martinuzzi, Medea Scientific Institute, La Nostra Famiglia, Italy; Dr. S. Reddy, CARENIDHI, Delhi; Dr. Poonam Nathrajan, National Trust, Delhi; Ms. Charu Lekha, AADI, Delhi; Ms. Madhumati Achutan, Spastic Society of Tamil Nadu, Chennai; Dr. Sw. Varishthananda, Ramakrishan Mission Home of Service, Varanasi; Dr. Nitin Rajpai, UNICEF, Lucknow.

About 300 persons attended, among them medical doc to r s o f Varanas i and su r round ings ,

20 years of KIRAN unbelievable!

August 1990. Sangeeta's small, hand-written letter to myself and a few friends:” Will you help me? I would like to do something for the disabled children in Varanasi?” Of course we wanted to. We knew each other from earlier times, grew up in the same

area in St. Gallen. Who could imagine at that time the result of such a small request !

After this, intensive correspondence was started: Hand-written letters to India - no phone, no fax, no computer, no mobile yet. Who knew if a letter

really arrived? After six weeks, maybe an answer. How many letters we received!! Personal letters, business letters, letters of friendship; about flowers, money, friends, destiny, daily life, faith and God. How many contacts have been created! From Europe to India, friendships developed. So many wonderful meetings, discussions and actions. 1993 my first visit in KIRAN , at that time still at Nagwa- Lanka. What a world! Fascinatingly different, brutally different from ours in Switzerland! The KIRAN centre, like a small paradise! Later on, the generous area in Madhopur. A lot of laughing and dancing despite the disabilities.

What really impressed me was the morning prayer which was like a power source. “How wonderful to feel that God creates our lives as he desired them to be. And how calming it is to leave everything up to HIM.” (Sangeeta on 26.07.1991).

It is so wonderful that so many people worked with so much passion and responsibility in and for KIRAN in the past 20 years and that this continues now. How wonderful it is to be a part of the KIRAN family!!

I remember very well our first meeting in 2000. As usual Sangeeta visited the new officially nominated Swiss ambassador; me - and invited me for a visit to KIRAN. There was soon a special relationship between us, Swiss people, that's why I told her on my first visit that she could count me as a part of the KIRAN family.

For the enormous commitment and courage which was needed for such a challenging work, and which cannot be described in words. I want to just reduce my words down to two: THANK YOU!I will never forget the bright eyes of the KIRAN children during my visit!

Best wishes from Moscow! Walter Gyger

I can't remember how many times I had emptied the letter box at the Klosterhof, the place where the office of the KIRAN- Friends Association is situated, and on the way to the third floor itself she happily realizes how many good things are happening backstage and how many people trust Sangeeta's work at KIRAN there in India.

I can only repeat what I told myself in the past: I got lots of joy from my small help with this huge creation and the involvement of so many people. I could feel how the beautiful work going on in KIRAN which “inspired” the people here as well. For me this was not just work, but also a lot of satisfaction and joy, an experience which I don't want to miss!

Mr. Sanjay Albert, who works as an instructor in the Wood Workshop in KIRAN, focuses on the too fast, busy & struggling life of human beings where to achieve their goal they not only ignore their families but also their children too (both special and able children). Due to the lack of attentiveness and lots of carelessness their children do not get an appropriate environment to grow up in. As a result their children are lost in the world of extreme darkness in the house and become isolated. Is this their life? Not so! Here, Mr. Sanjay reminds us about the KIRAN song - people awake, disability is not a curse............!

He conveys a message through his article that, differently-abled children and youngsters also have the right to smile, study, live with freedom and

For over 20 years Nirmal Kerketta has been working for the KIRAN Centre. On 20th anniversary of KIRAN, he looks back on the early days and says: I remember the year 1990 very well when I was living in an ashram in Varanasi and was helping the father in his daily work. In the same ashram Bahan Sangeeta had started to work for differently-abled children. She was taking care of a little boy, Rohit, who was recovering from surgery. After he was released from the University Hospital I had to do some exercises with him, so as to ease his contractions. A few days later Sangeeta came to see me and said that, I had a good way of working with children and offered me to work for her. I remember that at the moment I was quite hesitant at first, because I wasn't so sure about her plans. She told me was planning to rent the whole ashram and dedicate herself to the welfare of differently-abled persons and wanted to educate and rehabilitate them. She then gave me one week to think about her offer. The whole week I was thinking about her proposal and finally I accepted it. Soon other interested people joined us: Johny, Naseem, Kedar and Lallu. Together we founded KIRAN on 15th September 1990 and step by step our “family” grew bigger.

In early 1993 six of us started our training for physiotherapy. In the morning hours we studied theory and in the afternoon we practiced it with the children of KIRAN. Of the six of us, Srikant,

Rajkumar and I are still working in the KIRAN Centre while the other three are self-employed. Nathan, together with his wife, is taking care of mentally challenged teenagers, Pavan founded an integrated school and Rita is now married to a doctor. As you can see, KIRAN not only gives hope to many children but also opens up new perspectives for us. Today, 20 years later, I still love working with children just like on the first day.

It always makes me think; what would my life today be if I had taken a different decision on the proposal of Bahanji. Compared to the early days, many things have changed in the KIRAN Centre today. In the 90's we only had a small auto rickshaw to transport our half dozen children and these days I see many buses bringing the children to our centre. KIRAN has

happiness and should be given equal opportunity to establish themselves in the society with mutual respect. Along with that they should have the right to develop their own specific identity. With respect for this, for the last 20 years KIRAN has been rendering services to the children in special need through education, vocational training and rehabilitation.

The Vocational training department gives training to the youngsters with special needs in the following trades: I-Q Toys, Carpentry, Art & Design, Bakery, Grihini, Horticulture and Food processing & preservation.

Both the special as well as the able who need support or appropriate guidance and is over 14 years of age are trained here in their field of interest.

The Vocational Training Department is categorized into two sectors:

Vocational Training Skill Training

In conclusion he requests all of us to be aware and careful towards the differently-abled children and youngsters in our surroundings and make the neighborhood peoples more aware of KIRAN'S specialized services which will result in building a stronger base to live their daily lives.

grown a lot and we can help many youngsters, but sometimes I miss the old days, when we were just caring for a handful of children. At that time I could pay very close attention to each child. Today we have to keep a much tighter schedule so that each child can get equal benefit through physiotherapy. Fortunately more and more children in India are getting vaccinated against polio and so presently our focus is more on children affected with cerebral palsy. These children need special care & attention Therefore I did a special course in Calcutta to work with CP children who are now more prominent. I feel I am equipped to face new challenges and look forward to the up-coming 20 years with optimism.

not yet eight months old she became sick and was immediately taken to the nearby doctor for treatment. As treatment the doctor gave her continuous injections for seven days, leaving her in intolerable pain. As a result it made her incapable of moving due to which she was taken to another doctor. The doctor detected paralysis in her hip and both of her legs. It was very shocking for Sadagi and her family. Sadagi did not start her basic education till the age of 7 when seeing her sisters going to school, she had a strong desire to go to school too.

One day her father saw the KIRAN Centre bus, which showed him and his family “A ray of hope”. Her father's willingness made him contact KIRAN. After continuously going to KIRAN for one year for treatment, her father admitted Sadagi in the school for her education. She took education up to class 5th in KIRAN. After passing class 5th from KIRAN, she got admission to the Central Hindu School for Girls, Kamaccha, Varanasi, where she continued her studies up to class 10th, with the help and support of KIRAN. She wants to thank KIRAN Centre that, in-spite of being an ex-student, KIRAN never forgets to invite her to meetings, programs or exposure trips.

Eventually after facing great challenges, she got admission to Polytechnic-Electronics. At present she is totally concentrated on building up her carrier. She wants to thank KIRAN Centre, staff members of KIRAN and her family members too, who were so essential and instrumental towards building-up of her carrier.

Mrs. Seema Singh, Assist. Crafts Worker in KIRAN is telling us a b o u t t h e d e e p conversat ion held between a student and his teacher in which the student seems to be very curious to know how to obtain the

internal light source of life when there is absolute darkness. In response to that, the teacher told him that he can get the light source from the moon, the flame of a lamp, and hearing the internal voice. If there seems no way of getting the light source, then develop internal knowledge and proceed to walk on the path of life. And this internal knowledge can be obtained only by getting an education.

Mrs. Anjana Shrivastava, as a teacher in KIRAN

tells us the story about a boy named Ramesh who

loves to sit besides the river near his village in the

winter season. One day he was there when he heard a

sound of someone jumping into the river. Going near

to the river, he saw a boy being dragged under the

water. He saved the boy and brought him safely out

of the water. At that moment many villagers

gathered and recognized him as Somu, who had

failed his examinations. Searching for him, his

mother came and saw her son murmuring

unconsciously “I have failed my examinations”.

When she shook him, he came to consciousness, and

his mother gave him some news which was worse

than failing his examinations. He was shocked. His

mother told him that, he was incapable of facing the

real truth of his life and so he decided to commit

suicide. It is like being a loser at heart. He felt very

guilty and ashamed and so he asked his mother for

forgiveness. In response his mother told him he had

to be prepared for failure in life and he always

needed to proceed forward in life with courage. She

suggested keeping in mind that, “if your heart is lost;

you are the loser, but if you can win over the heart;

you are the winner”.

As i walk in

you turn, you look

though you cannot hear

the greetings in the hall

the feet on the floor

the scrape of the door

you know i'm here.

You turn, you look

you crane your head,

and grinding your teeth

into a smile,

you welcome the new day.

“Good morning Ravi!”, i say

awaiting no reply, for

wordless are your lips.

But you grasp, you clench

with your flailing limbs

a garment, a wrist, a hand

and hold tight, hold tight

to what is real, what is true.

I bend and cradle you

like a child in my arms

yet you are a man.

How your mother

must have wept

when her soul was severed

from the body

she could not heal.

But now your mothers are many

and they rock you, rock you

in their open arms.

I carry then lay you

on white ceramic tiles

to wash away the night.

I strip you of your clothing

and lay your skin bare

I feel your wrists and hands

knees and legs, ankles and feet

bent at impossible angles.

so as i rub the red soap

into your thick jet-black hair

onto your smooth dark-brown skin

your flesh becomes mine

and mine yours

as i soften the borders

and dissolve that space

where fear can corrupt the giving.

You laugh and laugh

a laughter that rises

from deep within your chest

and rasps at your throat

in spasms of joy,

for you know better than i

how good it is to be alive!

I smell the scent of oil

Massaged into your skin

your body now spotless,

you sit strapped to your wheels.

I turn and i go, knowing

the sacrifice of your body

has made love pure

washing my sins away.

trade such as Wood Work (IQ Toys), Bakery, Grihini, Horticulture, Art and Design, Food Processing & Preservation, or whatever is in the interest of the trainee, is the most important way to learn & get expertise in a particular field and this will allow them one day to make a good living. Choosing the perfect trade is the first step towards security in life. Therefore, the trainee is given a chance to choose the trade according to his field of interest and capability. Training continues for three years in which they become well-versed in the chosen trade which helps them to become independent and self-confident.

Along with the training Mr. Somnath likes to participate in the extracurricular activities such as Cooking, Drama and to teach others what he has

Award Ceremony

We are proud that, our ex-students in-spite of their different abilities are making their own way towards earning a living as well as pursuing higher education with the support of KIRAN and a focus on continuously progressing towards the goal of achieving their dreams. Hence, during this KIRAN Festival year we have awarded all our ex-students who have succeeded in their respective field with precious guidance. We wish to thank Mr. R. N. Rai- Social Integration Manager, KIRAN Centre, who took the initiative and gave his full-fledged support towards integrating them into the society with mutual respect.

learnt during his training. He likes to take training with a sense of team spirit along with his colleagues. He supports his family in all aspects i.e. Physically and Financially, and feels very happy to do so.

Thanks to vocational training he is now able to distinguish between right and wrong. At a time when nobody wants to help others financially, the differently-abled youngsters have to make their own way to earn a living so that they can take proper care of their family members in every way. In conclusion he advises us not to mix problems at work with family problems with each other, otherwise there will be a lack of happiness in life and life will become difficult to live. If you do so, your life will be full of happiness.

To save the greenery and to maintain the ecological balance, KIRAN has taken the initiative to plant more and more varieties of herbs and shrubs in the KIRAN campus so as to give a healthy and fresh atmosphere to our children and staff. We appeal to all of you, to plant more & more trees around your surroundings to save our ecosystem

up the internal flame. When there is a flame, there is light and the true light is human patience and knowledge. Light emerges from the rays. Even a small flame is enough to destroy the darkness. The darkness begins not only after the sunset but, is always present in the thought of a human being even if there is daylight. The flame which was lit 20 years ago has now become the ray of sun (hope into lives).

In a flash back of memories he says that he was born in Murshidabad which brought extreme happiness to his family. After 10 months of birth he was affected with Polio which converted all the happiness into sadness. Following the advice of close friends his parents came to Varanasi for treatment. After a lot of struggle he chose to work as an Auto- Rikshaw driver, which was how he got connected to KIRAN. When there was no bus in KIRAN, Bahan Sangeeta

gave him responsibility to bring the children to KIRAN and back home again. After 10 months of service he was nominated as a Committee Member of KIRAN. When KIRAN was shifted to Madhopur from Nagwa (a small rented house in Lanka, Varanasi) the land was totally barren but with many supportive hands, it was ultimately converted to a green environment.

Now KIRAN has become a resource centre for education, vocational training, rehabilitation, treatment and referral services of children and youngsters with different abilities. He realizes the happiness to do something beneficial for the needy ones in society. He wants to thank all the supportive people who are always close to the KIRAN Centre even in extreme situations.

Mr. Santosh Kr. Yadav, Spl. Educator in KIRAN, explains the lack of various talents found in Mentally Retarded Children. This lack can be Educational, Behavioral, Personal or a Social problem. Due to improper care and ignorance by the family members, the M.R. child expresses his behavioral problem openly, as a result they are unaccepted in and by the society. But, through various methods they can be trained so that they can participate in social and family activities. The different areas in which the M.R. Child should be improved are as follows:

l Positive Interrelationships- it consists of making positive relationships with friends, on shaking hands responding the same, family members, neighbors-relatives, guests, teachers by greeting them, interacting, and expressing feeling. These lacks are found in M.R. Children.

l Relationships according to age- the body grows up but the mind remains constant, due to which they can't learn proper behavior and therefore behavioral problems appear.

l Lack of Positive attitude- Due to the lack of talent, the positive attitude are found lacking in these kinds of children. Hence, they should be taught appropriate talent behavior.

l Walk on left side of the road- the lack of knowledge to walk on appropriate side of the road is found in them. Hence, they should be thought to walk on the left side of the road so as to avoid accidents.

l Keep their morning bathing routine private- they should keep their morning routine private

and also learn how to wear their clothes properly.

l Distinguish between Male & Female- they should be aware about the sexual status i.e. male and female

l Personal hygiene- they should know about their personal hygiene because no one can help the adult M.R. individual.

l Joint behavior- they should know about the jointly behavior such as -to participate in drama and games along with their friends, etc.

l Behavior according to sex- they should know how to behave according to social rules regarding sex, such as proper behavior with boys-girls, brother-sister and father-mother.

l Normal behavior in a public place- to sit quiet and behave normally in public places such as temples, picture halls, etc without harming anyone. The mentally retarded persons should be trained to develop their talent behavior so that they can live independently and achieve independent livelihood.

From this year, KIRAN has raised its efforts to keep its campus free from polythene/plastics and is continuously trying to reduce the use of polythene/plastics in and around the campus in order to make the environment “Plastic Free”. Hence, we prefer to use cloth, jute, and paper bags in our routine activities and suggest others do so as well. Also we try to make the parents and the visitors aware of the health risks of using plastic.

Since, plastics are hazardous to our ecosystem, we appeal to society to restrict as much as possible the use of polythene/plastics.

Instead you can make use of biodegradable materials for carrying your routine items so that, we can live in a healthy environment.
