Friends of the Odd Bods continue an Odd Bods tradition of sponsouring students at Raphael, the Ryder Cheshire Home located at Dehradun, Northern India.
Here are the latest reports on our three charges.
Asma - Asma is doing well and has learnt to use the smart phone on her own. She sometimes connects with her teacher independently for her sessions. She has learnt to add upto Rs10/- with small denominations of Rs 1, Rs2 and Rs 5. She also knows a packet of her favourite chips costs Rs 10 and will gives you Rs10 from a pile of coins to buy her a packet of chips.
Sarthak Belwal - Sarthak has been at Raphael for the last five years and is 17 years old now. He has been home with his family for the last 10 months. He enjoys looking at pictures and playing with a ball. He attends the online classes regularly and has learnt to convey his needs and interest by gestures. He enjoys listening to music.
Abbas Hussain Zaidi - Abbas is 14 years old and has been at
Raphael for the last five years. Abbas takes an interest in reading and writing and is always eager to help others. He has been home with his family since the lockdown was imposed in March 20 and has been attending online teaching sessions regularly. He has been very well behaved at home. He is non-verbal and uses gestures to communicate and has in fact taught his siblings a few gestures and signs to indicate his needs and they now understand what he is trying to express. After his online session, he goes to help in a cycle repair shop close to his house.
