19 volunteers signed up for doing volunteer work at Shristi. Of these, Anil Kumar, Neha Toshniwal, Deepak MVS and Mohana were regular. They assisted in teaching children functional academics, music and games and helped in various administrative jobs. Apart from these we had scores of volunteers who signed up from MNC”S like Cisco Systems, Progeon, Sapient, P, Accenture etc.

They visited the campus on event days and working Saturdays and spent time in entertaining the children, painting the campus, taking children for picnics, making teaching aids and in tutoring students. The Volunteer Mentors dedicated their time to building awareness about the activities of Shristi, in getting more volunteers to sign up and in getting child sponsors for nutrition, medication and therapy. They also contributed ideas and their time for training staff.
 

Counselling

As part of the rehabilitation programme, regular counseling and guidance sessions were held for the children and their parents. Through these sessions, parents are supported and empowered in dealing with various problems which hinder the normal functioning of the family. Directors, Psychologist, Medical Social worker and administrators are actively involved in the process.


Home visits and Home Based Programmes

Home visits are an integral part of the Rehabilitation process. It helps in understanding the client's home environment,collateral contacts of the client and to study the Psycho-Social and Economic status of children. Shristi's Medical Social Worker visited many of the children's homes and documented the reports of these visits.
