Ameesha- All Alone...

Ameesha was only 6 hours old when she came to the SOS

ChildrensVillage at Bawana, Delhi. Her SOS mother Kumudini,

was concerned regarding her ability to bring up such a frail child,

who also had a deformity in her foot. She says I was so much

worried about Ameesha that I would suddenly get up in the middle

of the night and start massagingAmeeshasfeet, praying that she

should grow up to stand on her tiny feet. She said with tears in her

eyes Itmade me feel so sad to think that Ameesha might not be

able to dance, run around and play like other children.

With guidance from a doctor at AIIMS, Kumudini learnt the art ofmolding childrensbones and regularly treated Ameesha. Today

Ameesha stands tall, wants to pursue a career in dance and

also plays football as a defender.

The SOS family consists of 9 or 10 children, who

share their lives as brothers and sisters

They grow together in the care of an SOS

motherlike in any family

Children attend local schools and keep in closecontact with neighboring families

The Four Principles of SOS Childrens Village1. The Mother- Each and every child has a caring parent.

2. Brothers and Sisters- The children have family ties and

they grow up with a sense of responsibility and a spirit

of sharing; family ties therefore grown naturally

3. A House- A place where the child feels secure, and has a

sense of belonging; each family creates their home

4. The Village- A community that surrounds the child andgives every child roots.
