For these children, the world is full of discrimination and their childhood replete with many challenges.
But a few nuns from the Deena Seva Sabha have taken it upon themselves to make the world a better place to live in for these children with HIV/AIDS. As many as 45 children, some affected with HIV/AIDS while some of them orphaned after their parents died of the scourge, were provided shelter by the nuns at the Infant Jesus Home. Now a voluntary organisation called Needz, started by a few women from the city, has envisaged a school, especially for these children. Needz announced the launch of the school here on Sunday.
The oldest of these children is around 15 while the youngest is just a few months old. They are being rehabilitated by the nuns, who also provide them with education.
Minister for Health and Family Welfare R. Ashok said that as there was no cure for HIV/AIDS, there was greater need for spreading awareness about the disease. The Government was in the process of opening more counselling centres for HIV/AIDS patients and those at risk.
