‘Paradise of pain relief’
Hmm...Yet
another memorable place for relief... It’s not other than Victoria Home...Mainly not for bodily
pain...It’s for hearts those getting hurt inside due to their physical
disability from birth, after an accident such spinal injuries, due to the fate
of a disease such myopathy, paralysis...Even more...
It’s
our 3rd Saturday of our appointment, bringing some remarkable
memories in my life...When I visit to Victoria home 1st time...Thanks
for all who make this opportunity...
Although
it’s located near to a main town rajagiriya, it’s a cool place with clean
environment...initially it was established in 1888 near eye hospital but from
1960 it’s active in current place...With 175 inmates , around 50 staffs
including director,matron,nurses and attendants..All the adequate service are
provided to inmates...Such important basic needs like safe shelter, food,
sanitary facilities, clothes and folding wheel chair...Dhaam board, newspapers,
library facilities for their leisure time...in case of a ill condition admission
to NHSL with provided transport...Medical checkups by a doctor on every Sunday...More
than this there are annual sporsmeets and trips as entertainment...in a case of
death Raymond’s undertakers providing the rest free of charge..
But more
than everything they are so creative... Most of them are engaged in making handicraft
items...Such soft toys, stocking flowers bands, key tags with saline tubes...truly
awesome.. They are given opportunity to sell those items too... we also bought
some of them to encourage them.
The
home is being directly maintaining by government, with its own fund and added
funds by donations from social service organizations and individuals...the
public also mush interest in providing foods for them with their donations...
So,
at last the great Victoria home is being always paradise of pain relief when
the inmates saying without words...with their activities “we have been not handicapped by our condition, we are
physically challenged and differently able”...
