ONE DAY WORKSHOP AT SOS VILLAGE IN HYDERABAD BY MANA PALAKOLLU Dr.KESIRAJU RAMPRASAD GARU.
Recently He visited SOS VILLAGE in Hyderabad on the request of SOS mother Jayamma. The management of the home and children are very nice. He spent 4 hours and inspired the children.
SOS Children’s Village Hyderabad is situated in the bustling village of Vottinagulapally, about 25 km outside Hyderabad City. Hyderabad is the political and economic capital of the Andhra Pradesh region. Although historically known for the production of pearls, nowadays the city is an important centre for the IT and pharmaceutical industries. There is also a considerably large informal sector, which is believed to be expanding. Hyderabad is one of India’s largest cities and has a population of nearly seven million people. The city has grown over the past years and the number of people living in poverty and slum conditions has increased – it is estimated that around a third of the population lives in poor housing with inadequate access to basic services or infrastructure. Skin diseases, gastro-enteritis and other communicable diseases are prevalent in these areas.The children who grow up in such slums are often at high risk of losing parental care. Parents, struggling to scrape together a living, often find it difficult to meet the material and emotional needs of their children. Many are not sent to school because parents cannot afford it. Furthermore they are often forced to work in order to raise the family income – most work as domestic workers, in shops or in construction. Some, particularly boys, can be found working with hazardous substances.
Women and girls are particularly disadvantaged. The majority of people living in poverty are in female-headed households. Girls are sometimes considered a burden, due to the cost of their marriage dowry, and are often abandoned by the parents.
