Parivartan visit to Sangaria Village "When a poor person dies of hunger it has not happened because God did not take care of him or her. It has happened because neither you nor I wanted to give that person what he or she deserved." But here is a ray of hope - PARIVARTAN- a change , a candle to lighten their lives brighten their minds , to strengthen their hopes and widen their scopes. Parivartan family recently visited a nearby village Sangaria to spread awareness among the people regarding the education of their children and also to understand the depths of problems they are facing. This visit made us clear about their problems and gave us a direction to work along. To get their acceptance for us, we conducted nukkad in their local language for their better understanding. The theme of nukkad was to present the difference between the life of an educated and an uneducated person. After the play we could really see the difference on their faces. The members divided themselves in groups and went to everyone's home to interact with them, to know their problems, to tell them the importance of educating their children and to spread the general awareness regarding their health. The people were very happy to interact with us. Without any hesitation they told us all their problems and asked us if we could really help them. We assured them that we will help them in every possible way we can. The general problems we came across were water scarcity, child marriages, unhygienic conditions, unavailability of doctor, girls education, and many more. So to start with, Parivartan organized a health camp the next week. We went there with a team of expert doctors in various fields. We got a very good response from the masses. Various health problems of these people were addressed by the doctors. They were given free medical check up and free medicines. We also counseled them for keeping their surroundings neat and clean. Meanwhile we interacted with the children there . We taught them how to see a watch. We played with them. We distributed toffees and biscuits. The children were happy, filled with joy, filled with passion to do something. Initially seeing their torn, worn and forlorn faces , their malnourished body , their innocence , our hearts were filled with sorrow and pity. It seemed their silent eyes were screaming for justice , for their birthrights
But after the visit we could see the change on their faces, a glitter in their eyes to do something, their positive response gave us a sign that we are on the right path. Initially villagers didn't interact with us frankly. So we introduced ourselves and explained our vision to them which was their upliftment in the society. So just to make them more friendly with us, we organized the health camp. After the camp was over, we took feedback from the people. The people were very happy and gave us lot of blessings. Their eyes were like filled with a new ray of hope as they got a new opportunity to get their problems addressed. They had started trusting us, which was a positive sign for us. Frankly they told us about all their problems . We assured them that we will definitely come up with some solution. Even the doctors were very happy to be a part of be the health camp. It was a unique experience for them also to work for the betterment of the society. We were happy to see our aim getting fulfilled, aim of bringing PARIVARTAN.
