"SPARSH Balgram"... The name itself says it all... Its all about touching and changing the lives of beautiful little innocent budding flowers.. Its an attempt to make them blossom and nurture them with much needed love and care so that they grow up into those fine and sensitive individuals which they truly deserve to become.. :)
You must be wondering whom I am talking about.. Let me clear the confusion.. Its about wonderful talented HIV affected children at "Sparsh Balgram".. Sparsh signifies and wants to tell those so called "WELL EDUCATED" individuals of the society that "Yes..They can be touched.. pretty much.. emotionally and physically.. and They won't transmit HIV to you.. for its not something which is their identity.. it is just a simple disease which can happen to anyone.. but the victim need not stop living their life because of this.. They are very much normal human beings as you and me.. :)"
when we visited Sparsh on Holi this year, we were pretty excited and anxious at the same time to meet those small lovely children.. for we didn't know something so pure and innocent was coming our way.. and what could have been the better occasion than the "Festival of Colors Itself!!!".. we decided to spread some joy and color in their lives from our side.. so that they'll celebrate it with colors of their innocence and we would learn some positivity and spirit of life from them.. and yes.. we were absolutely right.. We got much more than what we'd hoped for... It was The "Celebration of Life!!! " Their smiles made me smile and forget even my own tensions.. Some of they were so young.. around just 3-4 years old.. They don't even know what the disease means.. but I guess they won't even need to know that.. Its something they have not chosen for their selves.. and if you have not chosen something by your choice then why should you be worried about that or why should you be considered as culprits or bad human beings??
Instead you should become the light for those who are going through same or even more difficult situations... They remain happy and everyday struggle to live the life as they are prone to many diseases due to lack of immunity!! The founders of Sparsh live with their child and all other HIV affected children whom they are their very own 'Family'! They also struggle everyday to make the ends meet and earn "daily food and education and right to live with Dignity" for their children!! I salute them and wish them all the very very best for their noble cause!! :) Here's the link if you wish to make difference to their lives :- http://www.sparshbalgram.com/
