Temporary Learning Ceneter (TLC) healed my son mental depression

Mr. Khalid Masood a resident of UC Qazi Arif, Tehsil Mehar, District Dadu was one of the family experienced the worse flooding in the history of Pakistan.  Mr. Khalid son Mansood had seen and experienced the actual tragedy during the inundation of the entire areas of their village. When the water suddenly flowing out from no where Masood together with his family were trying to save their life  but Masood was extremely terrified and shocked that cause him to stumble on to the rock and hurt his head so badly, fainted and bleeding. Masood mother run after him took him into her lap and yelling for help but no one in a position to give them helping hand everybody is desperate. Masood Family managed to get into the safer town somehow.

After 15 days Mr. Khalid had managed some amount to bring his son to the Doctors for treatment the Doctor cured the physical wound but not the mental depression and the trauma he got from the tremendous flooding.  Masood suffers from mental disorder that he keeps doing unusual activities like hitting his head to the wall and shouting saying save your life from the flood. His parents were worried and lost hope for the recovery of Masood suffering considering they are now a flood survivors and no enough money for the treatment.

October 15, 2010 my ORG with the financial help of UNICEF-EDUCATION implemented a project which is scaling up Temporary Learning Center (TLC) in IDP camps of District Dadu and Jamshoro. Mr. Khalid relay the story of his son to the TLC staff and gets the admission of Masood for this project

After sometimes of TLC participation Mr. Khalid observes his son is improving and getting well Masood starts to interact and interested in studying his lesson. Masood forgot the tragedy he had experienced his parents as well were so happy seeing the positive development of their son. 

When the TLC project was about to end Masood Father had narrated the whole story to the TLC staff with his tears form his eyes remembering the hardest days in their life and appealing to my ORG and UNICEF EDUCATION he says, “Please don’t close the TLC, the learning activities conducted healed my son mental depression”.

The non food items contained kitchen utensils, blanket, and other basic necessities to be used by the IDP’s in their daily life activities. The IDP are blissful to have all those things  as it helps them a lot considering that they had not able to safe things during the occurrence of flooding  in their areas.

Temporary Learning Center (TLC) in the IDP Camps of District Jamshoro & Dadu

TLC, Jam shoro

My ORG with the financial assistance of UNICEF-EDUCATION had implemented a project which entitled “Scaling up TLC in IDP’s camps in Sindh Province”. UNICEF has been our regular partner in working out  on the humanitarian endeavors with in the Sindh Province specifically. The Scaling up of Temporary Learning Center in IDP shelters of Sindh, Province, aims to provide basic education to the 2,500 children of flood affected families of District Jam shoro and Dadu by establishing 50 TLC in IDP Camps in those two Districts.

It is one of an immediate response of UNICEF to the flood victims, during the project implementation; it was indeed a cherishment to the condition of those children somehow. The children were very happy and excited with activities they are involved with; they are interacting with the other children as they’re happily doing the school like activities.

Children are the one who’ve been severely affected indeed in this tremendous calamity and yet voiceless for their sufferings at least with this kind of intervention that addressed their basic rights of education it gave they hope in life. 

Children TLC Activity

 I hope there will be a continuation program in Education for IDP’s camps in Sindh Province as the children specially is able to read and write. I believe education is one of the keys for development in the country.

WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) project changes IDP life style, Sindh, Pakistan

District Jamshoro inundated area

Last August 2010 the greater part of Pakistan “unexpectedly” inundated, what I mean for  “ unexpectedly”  is that the flow of the water from the Indus river was dried for more or less 10 years,  since, there was no water flowing in this site the people established  houses on this site and resides in the  riverside as well.

The inundation happened in just a few hours and lasted almost a year, millions of families are internally displaced, and, millions of crop, livelihood had been damaged. Some families who still have  something to recover when the water subsided they  gone back to their houses but those who are severely affected by the flooding,  as  their houses are completely  gone with the flood they  resides in the Camps, non functional institution, old building just to have place to live.

The local and international donors are now giving assistance to the IDP in the entire affected area of Pakistan.  WASH Intervention is one of the immediate responses conducted by the Oxfam GB and my NGO is their partner in implementing the project effectively.

Water is a basic need of everyone and in the Sindh province especially the water quality is not drinkable with out purification. Under WASH project intervention their aim is to provide clean and drinking water in the IDP camps, water rationing through the use of truck to the IDP camps, water tanking by installing a portable tank in the IDP camps.

WASH Sessions

 Under sanitation sessions they are carrying out  activities which are  concern on the Hygiene and sanitation awareness campaign among IDP like giving a demonstration regarding basic sanitation such as hand wash with soap after defecation, nail trimming, tooth brushing, cleaning their surroundings, and distribution of Hygienic kits among IDP camps in Sindh province, Pakistan.

During the implementation of the projects my NGO conducted an interviews how this WASH projects changes their lives, some of the beneficiary said, “It’s indeed a great help to them and it even changes their life into a healthy means as they become aware on the sanitation and Hygiene in their day to day life, they can even share those gained knowledge to the other family as well”.

My inspiration..My NGO

I had not been into NGO (Non Governmental Organization) before I mean to be employed in any NGO; this is so far my first experience. If we talk about NGO the first things come into our mind is the humanitarian work, yes definitely, it usually deals towards betterment of certain community in a certain society through humanitarian works intervention. This is how I define NGO’s based from the experienced.

Every project that my non profit NGO is undertaking it aims towards betterment of vulnerable people in a sustainable basis. As I had seen the tremendous situation of vulnerable community and the suffering of community woman I always feel blessed and thanks Allah from the deep of my heart and mind for all the blessings Allah showered to me. The physical impressions I had seen from the vulnerable people it gives me inspiration  in  my daily lives, it inspire me in a sense to work hard so that,  someday somehow  I’ll be able to share  some of the  blessings in a simple way or help them to have a profitable income to at least mitigate their financial suffering.

My NGO also inspires me a lot, our CEO is a self made man, and I had read the struggles he has been through to be able to establish a prominent NGO as my NGO now. Pakistan has hundred of NGO working in different geographical location in the country with different missions and visions as well, that’s why, it was indeed a blessing in disguise to get a first legitimate project funded by the international organization or shall I say to stand out from among those hundred of existing NGO right now. Despite of the trials and consequences along the way he’s NGO still remain the prominent one from the eyes of Local and International Organizations. I admire and salute our CEO transparency to help the poor people because, I’m saying this statement based from the implementation of every projects, he   makes it sure that the beneficiary of the projects are the ultra poor people and keenly monitoring the proper implementations of every projects.
