My Story

Hello! We are the team of Adopt a Child writing this updated information about Sindrit . He is 17 years old and his birthday is on January. Sindrit is mentally ill and considered with different abilities. The mother is as well suffering from depression and life has been too hard for her. She has marred several times and her two children are with different parents. At present, the mother is staying close to Sindrit, carrying for him inside the house and she is receiving a pension of care for people with special needs. Sindrit likes to play with ball, watches cartoons on television and when he is calm enough, his mother takes him for walks, but not for too long. He is happy type in his character but from time to time, he becomes a bit nervous when he is not receiving what he likes. Sindrit goes to school and there the teachers are specialized to teach children with special needs as his. During the time he is at school they spend time learning the basics and do lots of drawing, coloring, singing, etc. During the time he is at school, his mother does shopping, cooks and does the rest of housekeeping, His step brother is younger. He has gone to school only to learn how to read, write and take a few lessons on Mathematics. He no longer goes to school and is at present selling hazel nuts, whole nuts and other dry fruits as he walks by the road, entering in different bars. He goes around asking people if they wish to buy and he does it so he will not be a bagger. With the money he collect in a day, he buys bread and food items for the family. The house they live in is in bad condition and they are very poor. The parents of both Sindrit of his step brother have never contacted or helped them. The government is treating the family with social assistance, but this small amount is spend in a week or two from them. The program of Adopt a Child has helped them constantly with food and clothes. The step brother of Sindrit visits the church rarely. Thank you for carrying and supporting this family of three persons with all that you can.
