Today we want to share an inspiring story of two brothers, Ullasa and Ananda, who came
under the care of Deenabandhu on 31st
December 2014. Ullas was 9 years old and his under sibling Anand was
around 7 when they came.
On
23rd
July 2008, when the younger child Anand was just 2 years of age,
their mother was gang raped and murdered. Their father who was unable
to cop up with the situation committed suicide. Ullas and Anand had
lost both of their parents at the tender age of 4 and 2 respectively.
However their
paternal Aunt Neelamma and Uncle Nataraju, gave both of them to the
custody
of Bapuji Children’s Home, Mysore. They kept visiting the children
often at Bapuji Children’s home. Due to the health problem of
Neelamma, they were unable to visit the children for some time. In
the mean time authorities of Bapuji Children’s home and Vatsalya
Charitable Trust, Bangalore, with their mutual understanding planned
and completed the procedure of inter-country adoption of the children
to an Italian couple. Getting to know about this fact Neelamma and
Nataraju fought with government and child welfare committee, Juvenile
court and finally got the custody of the children. After this
incidence children were put under the care of Government Certified
school. From there the children were transferred to Deenabandhu.
Thinks
started to change gradually with the love and acceptance of
Deenabandhu home. Love, care, nutritious food, proper schooling,
extra guidance with reading and writing, numerous extracurricular
activities, trips, conversations with other children and staff
created a huge impact in their minds and hearts. They adjusted very
well to Deenabandhu home pretty soon.

Now
both of them are one of the top performers in their class. Both
picked up the skills to read and write Kannada very quickly. Much
faster than average. They both proved to be bright and talented in
many endeavors.

At
Deenabandhu, currently we have more than 73 children like Ullasa and
Ananda. All of them have gone through hardships in their lives and
here at Deenabandhu, they have all blossomed well. Deenabandhu is
working since 1992 and have seen many of its children settle happily.
Some are working as journalist, designers, engineers, singers,
artists and drivers. Some are self employed and some are working for
different industries and Corporates. Most of our alumni keep visiting
us and every year they make sure to celebrate Deepavali with their
younger siblings here at Deenabandhu home. It is a proof yet again
that with love, care and acceptance even the hardest of the wounds
can be healed.
Please join hands with us. We will never be able to bring back their lost days
but we all together can make their future brighter and safer. We can
enable them to dream and help them to reach higher. Help a child to reach the sky!
