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”.
