00:00God began its work 33 years ago with maternal and child health.

00:17Soon enough we realized that only providing health would not even create a dent in people's

00:24life, especially the poor people's life.

00:27We have various programs, from maternal and child health services, we went on to community

00:32based rehabilitation of the poor with the maila mandal.

00:36What's your name?

00:40Look here.

00:42No.

00:44When she was a year old, I started to notice that her physical growth and behavior were

00:49not at par with other children of her age.

00:52Hence I decided to get her medical checkup done.

00:55She was diagnosed with Down syndrome.

01:00CODS community based rehabilitation program facilitates dignified integration of differently

01:05abled into the society.

01:10Her ailment was diagnosed at an early age and we started her treatment immediately.

01:15She underwent surgery and therapies but nothing came of it.

01:21Initially I would look around people going about their lives normally and felt myself

01:26to be the odd one and disadvantaged.

01:29But things changed after joining CODS.

01:32It felt good.

01:33Honey.

01:34Honey.

01:35Oh, that's one beautiful name.

01:38Doctors advised me to foster in her a normal upbringing and spend time with her.

01:43I would also research and study online about how to raise and care for her.

01:48CODS provides accessibility, education and vocational training to the differently abled,

01:54which in turn expediates their self-employment.

01:59She does designer embroidery at home and she's really good at it.

02:03I'm able to do daily chores such as folding clothes, brooming, etc.

02:10So you want to learn computers?

02:12Yes.

02:13Just like they do at formal school, where learning is much more fun as compared to learning

02:18at home.

02:20In which grade do you study?

02:225th May.

02:235th May.

02:245th May?

02:25Soon after being associated with CODS, I was made the resource person.

02:29We hold regular meetings where I guide parents on how they should be with their children.

02:35I am very grateful to Dr. Maitreyi for finding an organisation of this noble kind.
