Annual Report 2015-2016 RYDER CHESHIRE INTERNATIONAL CENTRE for the Relief of Suffering Donations Exempted under Section 80-G Registered Under Societies Act XXI of 1860 No.-R-5911 – 1154 Dated 10 December 1962 From Chairman’s Desk This year three children from the Special Education Wing were successfully rehabilitated back into their communities. In addition twenty young adults work in the Rehabilitative Workshop and receive a stipend. Having been the first Special School (MR) to partner with the IAYP programme, not only have the children been making considerable progress achieving Bronze and Silver medals, but we now have four proud Gold awardees. Our Special cricket team took part for the first time in a tournament and even won a match. The TB Hospital and OPD remain busy and we continue to work in close partnership with the State TB authorities. Closing down of the charity Target TB in the UK has been a setback to us, as their partial funding has also ceased. This adds to our challenge of funding. Of the nineteen children of Little White House, seven passed their Class XII. Sixteen are now undergoing different professional courses of their choice. All are being supported by generous sponsors from overseas. Twelve children continue with their studies. The Shiv Sadan residents continue to contribute to the welfare of the community and some in the workshop notwithstanding their advancing years. The major renovation work to increase capacity of Little White House to house male residents of Ava Vihar, was completed during the year and the facility is presently being shared by both LWH children and male residents of Ava Vihar. With this our total residential capacity to house the mentally disabled has risen to 120 with separate wings for male and female residents. Regrettably, we were unsuccessful in finding generous donors for this work and had to dip into our savings. Our search for donors for this completed project continues. We are grateful to all our institutional and individual supporters and well-wishers, both overseas and within the country. Amongst the overseas supporters, our special thanks to Ryder Cheshire Australia and Ryder Cheshire New Zealand, who have supported us since inception and to Sarvashubhamkara for supporting many LWH children in their professional courses. We are also grateful to RCA and some individual sponsors from Australia to have come forward to support some of the LWH students in their professional courses. We thank SOIR for having been long-time supporters. We are grateful to many individual supporters from the UK who together continue to find the time and energy to support our residents. Amongst our Indian supporters, the Raphael-Max India Foundation partnership month, where both the institutions jointly carry out various programmes with MIF providing financial support for the month, continues to work very successfully. An added benefit is for volunteers of both organizations and others participating in activities to work together and share knowledge and experience, for the common good. We are grateful to ONGC for continuing to support forty of our girl students, Sir Ratan Tata Trust for supporting 14 boys and to all individual donors for their generous support. Volunteers, both overseas and Indian add both diversity and value to the services we provide. Progressive increase of Indian volunteers is an encouraging development. 2 Brigadier Anil Sinha retired after having held the challenging responsibility of CEO for fourteen years. Both he and Mrs Gouri Sinha will be missed around the campus and during various festivals when they played generous host to our residents. I thank Brig Anil Sinha and Mrs Sinha for their sterling contribution towards providing relief to those suffering and wish them happy retirement. Brigadier Arun Bhatnagar has joined us as CEO after long and distinguished service in the army. I welcome Brig Bhatnagar and Mrs Shobha Bhatnagar to the Raphael family and wish them both a happy stay in Raphael. I thank members of the Governing Council for their continued guidance and support and for mentoring activities whenever the need arises. And finally I would like to acknowledge the dedicated and sincere efforts of all the staff members under the leadership of the CEO. It is through their dedication and professionalism that Raphael continues to strive to be true to its mission.
