REPORT OF
HOSTEL FOR THE YEAR 2016 -2017
“It is said
that family is the cradle of virtues where the child learns its habits”.
We are happy to introduce that the
Manasa Rehabilitation and Training Centre, for the less privileged has not only
the school facilities but also the residential facilities are provided. The Hostel for the less privileged was
started in the year 1997, on 14th November and has flourished and
produced much fruits in many ways. As we flash back into 19 years of our
existence, we feel proud and happy that, our service which all of us have
extended to these special children, has become really a successful event &
we feel happy to be part of this Institution.
Hostel plays a great role in the
Growth and Development of these children. Once they are admitted here they are
observed, cared and taught how to deal with the daily activities like self help
skills, personal hygiene, T.V, music, dance, Recreation etc. these activities
help them to be more active, free and give them enough freedom to move around.
Through their laughter, joy, and the noise around hostel becomes a life giving
centre. Most of the children after coming here have improved a lot as ‘expressed’
by their own parents.
The total number of hostelites are 70
out of them are 46 are boys and 24 are girls. At present we have 16 staff
members, 3 cooks, 3 hygiene workers, warden and assistant warden 1 watch man
etc. they do a great and selfless service for the well being of the inmates.
Also we are happy to see the children, who are able to their own management do
help the others.
It is a joy for us to see most of the
improvements in these children, specially their activeness in many activities.
We are also happy to say that most of their behavioral problems have decreased
in the hostel. A set of time table is being followed in order to maintain the
disciple of the hostel. Daily they rise at 6.00am & does their morning
routine work. Then the catholic students are ready to go for Holy Mass in the
parish. At 7.30am they have their breakfast followed by study hours 8.30am to
9.30am. From 9.30am to 4.00pm they are engaged in school activities. The lunch
break from 12.30 am to 2.00 pm. after the school at 4-15pm the tea & snacks
are served to all the students. After tea they are given time for the various
games in the ground under the supervision of staff. Alternatively children do the
gardening once in a while. At 7.00pm they join for the evening prayers and at
7.30pm have their supper. By 9.00pm they retire to Bed.
The hostel has provided conducive
atmosphere for the children due to supervision by the concerned staff members,
as a result of this they have excelled in curricular & extracurricular
activity. And also for the better fulfillment of the work, we held evaluations
with the staff. Many visitors from different parishes, Institutions and also
individuals have been here to see the centre and the children. Many of them have
appreciated & given positive reports of our work done here in Manasa. Since
most of the children come from a very poor economic background which is
difficult to meet the daily task, but there are good and generous people who
contribute for this children by sharing their resources like money, clothes,
meals etc.
We thank all those who have involved
in this good service to the less privileged children. We are grateful for the
co-operation and the support received. We assure our prayers to all those who
have helped us. Let us then render our generous and selfless service to these
God’s special ones and work hand in hand for their development.
We express our sincere gratitude to
the president and the managing trustees, who have worked hard to make a
heavenly place for these children. Specially we appreciate their dedicated
service towards the less fortunate children of our society.
Thank you,
Sr. Mary Beck SSpS Warden.
