Though we have stopped our adoption programme in December 2011, it still remains a part of our image. Not a day goes by without someone ringing up to enquire about adoption. My perception is that there is a growing need for adoption and less and less children to place. More good agencies are deciding to close down their programmes as the system has become even more hostile to adoption agencies around the country. Children and families still visit us which is a joy. The Supreme court petition we filed has got stuck and doesn't seem to be moving. The ACA continues to function in Karnataka under a new Avatar, mainly doing home studies for families wishing to adopt especially from out of the State.

Sumati Satish, our long time member and Treasurer, unfortunately resigned on April 24th. Shobha Kumar resigned on 6th May 2013. We shall miss their presence at Ashraya and still feel that they are a part of us. Sumati was involved with all our projects over the years and fund raising and Ashraya owes her a huge debt for its growth and development.

Shobha Kumar has been on our Committee for many years and has been one of our most dedicated volunteers working with the toddlers. She continues to come into Ashraya to help us.

We decided to induct three new young members onto the Ashraya Board with a view to Ashraya's future survival. Radhika Nambiar was a Social Worker at Ashraya for many years. Malika Williams a dynamic adoptive parent and Nitya Reddy who supports the Avalahalli Creche. All of them were given special tasks and responsibilities in the Committee. We hope that young people will inject a new sense of purpose and direction into the organization.

Ms. Dechu Bannerjee joined us as a Consultant on the 8th of April 2013. She comes in three times a week and her considerable expertise and experience in the field of social work has been a great help to us.

The AGM was held on the 19th of November' 2012, and we have had 5 committee meetings this year.

Staff :

Padma Chidambaram, Social Worker, resigned end November 2012. Evalin Christabel joined Ashraya on 10th November 2012, in-charge of CIAI projects funding agencies, Neelbagh, and the Observation Home. Susan Jaison resigned at the end of December 2012 to have her second child. Kavita Madan joined Ashraya on the 3rd of December 2012 and is in-charge of the Crèches, Women's Centre, Convention Centre and Outreach Programme and the Girls hostel.

Christy Abraham and Radhika Nambiar spoke of their experiences at Ashraya. Some of the adoptive parents also spoke about their experience of adopting. This was followed by a delicious lunch.

3. On the 22nd of June 2013, Ashraya and The Centre for Law and Policy Research organized an interesting seminar on " Cancer and Mental Health Patients – Their right to Autonomy and Emotional Well Being ". The seminar was held at the Bangalore International Centre. Dr. Ajai Kumar, Chairman HCG group was the Chief Guest and we had a lot of interesting speakers on our panels and good moderators. The seminar went off extremely well. Dechu and Evalin worked hard to put everything into place.

Observation Home

 

Ashraya remains on the Home Management Committee of the Observation Home. We are extremely frustrated that anything we do there is purely cosmetic and we cannot get to the core of the problem, which is a proper rehabilitation plan for the boys. They continue to be released within 2 to 3 weeks, most probably into the hands of criminal gangs. At least we hope to put a dance teacher and a yoga teacher into place soon and we will have to subsidize their services as the government pays a very small monthly stipend. The DWCD has also agreed to Parivarthan doing a training programme for their staff, which they will pay for. The Home Committee meetings are being called every month.

 

Convention Centre

 

The Convention Centre was rented to Manipal Global Education Services from December 1st 2012. They decided to give up the Centre on the 17th of June and moved out by September. We are now renting the Centre to Grameen Financial Services for a rental of Rs. 80,000/ - per month w.e.f. 1st November 2013, for a period of 3 years. They will also pay all the staff salaries.

We have done extensive repair work this year to all our buildings, The Convention Centre, Women's Centre and the Children's Home Building. We have spent a total of Rs. 6,63,000/-. Some of them were major works like waterproofing the roof of the Children's Home building.

Academics: Our children performed splendidly and brought creditable results in Class X SSLC exams this year.

Seeking Partners :

 

Ashraya's ongoing projects and services are well utilized by a growing number of children and recognized by the community, social organizations and the government. Most of Ashraya projects have emerged as models and has made a larger societal impact. Yet, there is a lot more to be done for the well being of the children and women.

To continue the existing projects and to plan and execute more support systems, Ashraya is looking for more community participation, support and partnership with like-minded organizations and corporates.

All donations to Ashraya are exempt under section 80G of the Income Tax Act. The Society has also been registered and approved under the Foreign Currency Regulation Act (FCRA) to receive contributions from abroad.
