Wishing to keep you up to date about what is happening in our Projects in Pune, we bring to you a short summary of our activity in recent months.
The Hadapsar DCC had water blockage problems which were solved by the complete renovation of the Center, now a semi-permanent structure.
Twenty four children from this DCC have enrolled in school, while all of the Koregaon Park Center children go to school. In addition, nine children have enrolled in an ‘English Medium School’, where all classes are in English.
The vaccination program was postponed until August because the Hospital that works with Asha-Kiran was not able to carry it out on the dates scheduled for July. The hospital has agreed to continue immunizing not only children but also women, including breastfeeding mothers.
Four women in the Koregaon Park slum have agreed to undergo sterilization under the Family Planning Program.
We found that two children in Hadapsar and three in Koregaon Park were undernourished. We will plan a diet for them to be followed at the DCC’s and at home. While discussing this issue, we saw the possibility of starting a Teenage Health Group which would include all young people in the communities, who would be responsible for monitoring the health of community residents. More discussions and planning are needed before we can put this idea into practice.
After moving Yashodhara to Kamshet in June, we have been working on the remaining touch-ups that were pending in the Home; to date, only the solar water heating system needs to be installed.
Together with you, we keep on moving forward.
