My name is Harjeet. I m working as a Social Worker in Jalandhar, Civil Hospital. I work for Orphan as well as ordinary patients. Like supplying food to orphan patients, locating the address of accident victims by getting the information from their identity card, carrying them across hospital on trolly for their tests / X-rays etc. Mam i m having couple of problems if you can sort out.

FIRST ISSUE –

In Civil Hospital, Jalandhar many orphan patients come, usually police takes them from outside when they are in terrible physical condition. They need food along with medicines. They are getting medicines but they starve for food. I do whatever i can, but so many orphan patients – daily food it is impossible for me. I work as a computer designer and work as a part time Social worker, 2 hours approx daily.

Mam around 9 months ago there was kitchen facility in the hospital, but from 9 months the kitchen has been stopped, that is he main problem , especially T.B. patients need hi- protein food. This order to stop kitchen facility was passed by controlling body for Civil Hospital, based in Mohalli.

Mam I will be thankful to you if you can get this Kitchen re-started once again. The Dietician of the Hospital is also desperate for this and is on my side. Mam what is the use of medicines if patients are starving. Mam it is easy for you to do this. The funds needed to run the kitchen is very minimal as compare to salary of one staff member working there. Please request the controlling body for Civil Hospital based in Mohalli to start the Kitchen once again.

2ND ISSUE –

Mam when any Policeman takes any orphan to the Civil Hospital, He is left almost without treatment in the hospital. I have witnessed this in my service there.The Orphan Patient is not given proper treatment on following things -

a) Patients inner side of mouth is usually infected with sores, no one care this issue.
b) When Orphan do potty on bed, the concerned class 4 employees run away from there by giving some excuse and also some times give bad words to Orphan patients, i m slowly slowly trying this.
c) Many medicines are free for Orphan Patients, but there are some medicines which are needed to be purchased from private Medical Stores, so funds are the real issue here.

I do my best for their treatment, which need not to be mentioned. I do talk to concerned Doctors, Medical Administrator and other authorities, but problems for Orphans are not solved. So Mam if you can solve any of the 2 ISSUES I HAVE SHARED WITH YOU I WILL BE VERY THANKFUL YOU YOU.
I m alone in this Service. You can see some of my activities on Facebook by following link http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100003565294738

Greetings from Morning star Fellowship Society.Chandigarh.
I need your advise with guidence to contine my work.
I already sent a letter.But not yet received reply from your due to your bussschedule. I hope you will give advice shortly. After wards I will meet you.
Only few born are blessed to in happiness.Mostly,the rest or subjected to disease, poverty and starvation. In the beginning few patches appeared over skin and on consulting a doctor it was confirmed that I was affected from leprosy. I took Ayurvetha,Unani and allopathy which resulted I alo suffering other disease piled and asthma.In spite of my skin complaint nerve pain and reaction forced me I rushed to leprosy I was admitted after medical examination at (Central Leprosy Teaching & Research Institute at Chingleput since 4th April,1968 I was admitted and took treatment for the period 3 years.After getting negative i was discharged with negative certificate and domiciliary treatment. I continued my study in high school at Sirvanrhadu,In Tamil Nadu.Slowly I feared that leprosy has taking its toll on my which compelled me to stop my studies off way in the 1971 with 7th standard. During my study I got first position in all subject, particularly in English and social history.

Secondly, my plans and desires of achievement something in life came to a stand still. I entered another hospital for treatment and I was under go my claw hand surgery of deformities. During my treatment the hospital authority given me training for dressing and dispensary assistant. I was completely cured leprosy by MDT.Again I got discharged with experience. I came across a NGO Siloam India and served the leprosy patients for a short period.

Then on the advise of some good friends I came to Delhi in search of green pastures. After lot hardships, I came across a leprosy colony at Bahadurgarh. Delhi border of Haryana and got settled there. To earn my daily bread I worked as a correspondent and mean time pulling Rickshaw for one and half year. Slowly my work/ services were recognized and in 1985 I was invited by Haryana Kusht Ashram,Ambala Cantt.Haryana, to join as a correspondent. The job profile was mainly to contact government agencies and NGO in order to get their aid to leprosy cured patients for water motor and goat rearing projects. In 1987 I was called by Nirmohi Kusht Ashram,Moga,Punjab, to carry out projects for leprosy cured such as house construction for 32 families, pension for handicapped,oldage,Adopt a granny programme,dairy forming, piggery forming, kitchen gardening and awareness, environment programmes from various agency. These schemes running very successfully at Dasuya,,Rajpura,Muktsar,Chandi Kusht ashram,Chandigarh,Gouri shankar Kusht ashram,Yamuna Nagar,and Saharanpur. These efforts gave birth to a New NGO under the banner of Morning Star Fellowship Society: as a founder of the Society. I worked for the upliftment of leprosy cured. As the need increased tailoring, courses, remedial classes, condensed cources,Creches,Awareness camps through the Social Welfare dept.Chandigarh and Punjab, environment and medical camps with help of SOSVA.Punjab(RCH Programme) were added to the kitty.

As per our future programmes are concerned MSFS are going to organize other work to its belt by starting for them rehabilitation, treatment, livelihood future of their children and women. I myself being leprosy cured me don’t want by beg but like to live in the society with respect and dignity. There are no any NGO except HelpAge work for leprosy past 32 years my experiences. So I would like to help my fellows’ brothers. So, I would request all your kind cooperation and help guidance.

Let’s join hands in working of the poor, handicapped and the needy. Together we can make a different in their lives.

Thanking you,
