On 18th of Feb'2012 members of "Matrusangharsh" reached Sandnya Srushti campus at 10:30 am along with their mentally challenged ward. The moment our bus got parked in our campus the whole atmosphere got turned in to a festive mode. There were 35 mothers with their children and of course all Sandnya staff was also present. The total number was more than 110 which included few lady trusty members of Sandnya also.
Every year around same period we arrange this night out camp in Sandnya Srushti. The main purpose is to give an opportunity to these mothers to relax. Every mother of a mentally disabled child is under unending physical and mental stress. As it is even for mother of a normal child, motherhood is not only a full time occupation but is highly demanding. And having a mentally disabled child it further becomes challenging and tiring as well. There is no respite even for a moment. It seems they have no moment for themselves.
Therefore these two days and a night, we at Sandnya try our best to see that these participant mothers relax in whatever way possible. Though there is a overall program planned for these two days, it is being taken care of that there is no undue pressure for maintaining the schedule. The agenda includes small technical session, light exercises for physical relaxation, yoga for calming down nerves, music and cultural items. Mostly the participants are from amongst mothers and our staff. We try our best to keep the whole atmosphere in a light mood.
