The story of Maria Rani & her sister Danamma
This is the story of Maria Rani & her sister Danamma who joined Heal in 2003
Two of the Heal children from the Children’s Village in Guntur tell their story in their own words:
My name is Maria Rani and My sister’s name is Danamma.
My father’s name is Daniel and Mother’s name is Tirupathamma.
My mother died due to a snake bite and after a few days my father went to sprinkle some pesticide in the fields . But unfortunately he got contaminated with pesticide and died.
The villagers published our story in the papers and Manga Devi madam read the story in the News papers and rang up our village Head. She agreed to take us in to Heal. My uncle came and admitted us in Heal.
We now feel that Manga Devi Madam is our mother. We are very grateful to Sathya prasad Uncle also for establishing Heal to look after children like us. If we had stayed in our village we would have had no schooling and become mere labourers.
I am in the fifth class and my sister in the fourth class . We both like sketching and painting.
We want to study well and get in to some big jobs. We feel very confident after we came to Heal.
Our House mothers Madhavi Akka and Parvathi Akka look after us very well. Padma Auntie is very strict but we feel it is for our good.
We are very happy, and being looked after well in Heal hence we too want to help children who are orphans like us after we grow up.
