At one year old, my daughter was crawling everywhere. I had to attach her to a rope so she wouldn’t injure herself. She would not move throughout the day and her legs became atrophied. She no longer walked nor ate, and she cried often. I did not have the means to take care of her and she wouldn’t recover.
My neighbor told me about the center for toddlers at Sidlaghatta. The staff at Aina Trust helped heal Gita and mainly taught me how to take care of oneself.
Now, every day, I leave her with a nursery assistant and I can work at ease the factory. Gita has made tremendous progress: she walks, is learning how to eat alone and sings nursery rhymes. Regularly, we go see a doctor and I participate in workshops on child nutrition.
I see that Gita is happier and more content since she started being taken care of by the nursery assistants. I sincerely thank BICE and Aina Trust for their support.
