Annual Report 2011-12

Dear Friends

jl

11

We are presenting herewith the annual report of SPARC-India for

the year 2011-12 with great satisfaction and immense pleasure as we

have completed our fifteen years of journey this year.

Glancing at the past year in this report, we witness

an account of efforts and achievements obtained

there of at our Jyoti Kiran School, Rural

Community Based Rehabilitation (CBR) Programs

in Nindura block of district Barabanki, Urban CBR

Programs in Madiaon ward of district Lucknow and

Vocational Training and Placement Center.

This year we have further added one more new

project - Poorest Area Civil Society Project (PACS)

in 110 wards of district Lucknow. This PACS is the

flagship initiative of the UK Government's

Department for International Development

(DFID), to work with civil society in India, to

improve the uptake of rights and entitlements by

women and socially excluded/ marginalized communities. Through

our PACS programme we are targeting people with disability, and

chronically deprived and extremely poor. The programme initiated by

us aims to (i) strengthen demand for improved delivery of basic

services, (ii) make support-service providers more responsive and

accountable, and (in) address the different forms of barriers and

discrimination against women and socially excluded communities

which they face in accessing services and benefits. Our organisation

has been selected as a mother civil society organisation for

mainstreaming disability in the entire state of Uttar Pradesh.

I take this opportunity to thank all board members, donors and well

wishers of SPARC - India for their constant support and

encouragement, without which it was not possible to reach at this

level of growth in fifteen years. I also thank all my colleagues, who

have done their job very well.

SPARC-INDIA

About SPARC - India

With a vision 'to empower the marginalized, particularly the disabled' "School for Potential

Advancement and Restoration of Confidence (SPARC)-India" came into existence in the

last quarter of 1995 at district Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh, India). Over the years many

individuals and organizations supported SPARC- INDIA to achieve its mission 'to serve and create a

barrier free environment for marginalized sections particularly the persons with disabilities(PWDs),

where they can realize their rights and lead a life of dignity'.

Mr. Amitabh Mehrotra , founder chairperson of SPARC- India , himself a cerebral palsied person,

with athetoid tremors in all his limbs and mild residual hemiplegia on the left side of his body is

practically unable to use his left hand and walks with a limp. Mr. Amitabh struggled hard with

considerable amount of grit and determination, to initiate services for PWDs andChildren with

disabilities (CWDs) at community level and he set up a special institute for the cerebral palsied and the disabled children at Lucknow city, Uttar Pradesh in year the 2003. It was named as Jyoti Kiran School,

a special school for cerebral palsied, initially with 2 children only.

While using a community-based approach to rehabilitation of disabled persons, SPARC- India has

found that the people with disability need dedicated and efficient forums to solve their problems and

issues. They have very low or negligible representation in decision making bodies in rural and urban

areas because they are not organized and are unaware about their rights and entitlements. Keeping

theses ground realities, special needs, problems of the rural and urban people with disability in mind,

SPARC- India formulated a holistic approach for the growth and rehabilitation, mainstreaming of the

as been ever since implementing it in the rural and urban areas of Uttar WDs an ■adesh.

Jyoti Kiran School's Report Card of Year 2011-12

Visits at the Children's Home

The staff of Jyoti Kiran School regularly visits the home of the students after their case conferences, which are organized to discuss the progress and change observed in a particular child or student, in a

particular time span. The objective of this activity is to discuss the problems and progress of the

students with their parents in detail as well as to know the observation of their parents. These visits also

help the school staff to know family environment, behavior of the children at home, treatment and

therapies conducted by their parents at home.

This year the staff team of JKS visited homes of Adiba, Anoop , Ikra Khan ,Izhaar, Iram, Vibhu,

Neha, Vikky and Gaurav. This activity develops better communication between parents and school

staff, which ultimately improves the mental and physical performance of the cerebral palsied(C.P.)

children in school as well as at home.

SUCCESS STORIES

KAJAL

Kajal 12 year old child is suffering from spasticity (Cerebral palsy). There are three members in her

family father, mother and elder brother besides her. Her father and elder brother are working as labor.

Monthly income of the family is around Rs. 3000/month. She lives in a kachcha house made of clay

and wood. She was brought to SPARC-India in the year 2010 under the CBR Project, when the field

worker met her; she was on bed because of her severe (spastic) disability. She was not able to move her

body parts easily.

After the intervention through our CBR program the field worker and therapist of SPARC-India

provided the basic need appliances and therapeutic support and also trained her mother for the

Assisted daily learning (ADLs). Field worker, special educator and therapist also made home based

plan for her. After six months of continuous efforts of field workers, parents and therapist, Kajal

started showing interest to move her body parts and sit with support. At present, Kajal has shown a lot

of improvement, now she can do her ADL work easily by herself. Kajal has also received a wheel chair with the help of DPO members and goes to school with the support of her mother.

In this process we faced some challenges like admission in school, to motivate the parents for therapy

and care of Kajal. After continuous efforts by our team of SPARC-India the parents realized how they

necessary resources available (bamboo parallel bar, standing frame and caliper) as a result of which

she is improving day by day.

Currently, Kajal is doing her ADL work easily and going to school daily, she is now easily sitting in the

CP chair and doing her study work progressively. By the advocacy effort of the DPOs, family got

approval from the block office for Indra Awas.

Kajal said "My dream is to get higher education and become a doctor". I will give preference to needy

children.

Kajal's mother said "Without the support of SPARC-India, such positive changes would not have

taken place in the life of Kaj al. We thank you whole heartedly".

GAURAY

Gaurav is an 8 years old Cerebral Palsied (CP) child. Besides him, there are four members in his family

i.e. father, mother, elder brother and elder sister. His father is a rickshaw driver and mother is a

maidservant. Monthly income is not enough to meet out their basic needs of life.

He was brought to SPARC-India in the year 2011 with the help of the field workers. When he came, he

was unable to stand or walk. During the intervention, the team assessed some aspects like education, social behavior, physiotherapy, ADL activities etc. After interventions, the team decided to send him to

Jyoti Kiran School(JKS) for the overall development.

In JKS, the therapists provided need based therapy and appliances to him, trained his mother to do the

therapy and ADL activities. Therapists, class teacher and counselor have also made home based plans for him. The class teacher and counselor focused on his education and social behavior. After six

months of continuous efforts of our team comprised of physiotherapist, class teacher and counselor,

Gaurav showed a lot of improvement in his behavior e.g. he greets everyone in school and interacts

with others obediently, he shares his lunch with class mates and also enjoys their company. Now he can

stand without support for 40 to 60 seconds also can walk by the help of a walker.

In the field of education, he cooperates very well and now his performance in all the subjects is rated as

good. He can read and write alphabets, letters, and numbers. In addition, he likes to read poems.

Moreover, he performs very confidently in the daily assembly.

In this process, we have faced some challenges like motivating his parents for therapy and call them to

school regularly for the follow-up of the child. Parents were very cooperative and supportive. His

mother attended all the meetings and training and henceforth are benefitted.

At Present, Gaurav is going to school regularly and is capable to do his ADL

work easily. Now within one year

remarkable changes have been seen in him like his physical improvement,

social behavior and education etc. His

parents are very happy with him and

they feel very satisfied that their child

is improving day by day.
