Andra Pradesh is a state on the West Coast of South India. It drives tourists to go there very often, and politically, this quiet corner of India. The major conflicts and political decisions rather play India from the north. The capital of Andhra Pradesh, is about 3 million people, Hyderabad.
six hours by train southeast of Hyderabad, towards the coast, is Vijayawada.
Vijayawada is characterized by one of the largest transit stations in the region. The station
is considered the hub for the South Indian metal industry and has contributed to a strong promotion of car repair body shop in Vijayawada.
founded in 1989, Father Koshi there, the street children project Navajeevan.
Navajeevan means in German: "New Life".
Today, more than 20 years later, the project is one of the largest in Andhra Pradesh.
It includes a number of institutions which include a theoretical education, practical training, and legal advice for "young children at risk" offer.
I will try here to outline the structure of the project a bit to give you an idea of \u200b\u200bthe project.
The traffic situation Vijayawadas leads to a daily influx of runaways, street children and drug addicts, young people. Most newcomers come by train.
The first and best way to contact the children and young people to take on is thus directly at the station. There, working the street team presence. It builds on the first trusting relations with the children / young people.
direct to the station the first stop for street children is located: The Shelter.
This is the first stop in the cycle of Navajeevan project. Children and young people of all ages come to this place.
Their names are recorded and they will be registered. Your CV and the reason which she has put in this situation is understood.
will now decide the way forward.
the parents live to? Can the child back to his family? Will the child back to his family?
Depending on the answers to these questions, there is a "home integration" or entering the actual Navajeevan project.
Many children are not addicted to drugs. Most of solvents, followed closely by alcohol. For these children it is, after getting used to a regular routine in the "Vemukthi Camp".
60 km from Vijayawadas, surrounded by mango trees and palm trees on an Indian court.
starts here the cessation of the toxic substances. A little teaching, a lot of sport and fun is the young people in 3 weeks to other thoughts.
Many young people have a level of knowledge, which for her age is not appropriate.
For the children / young people who want to later go to the college, it is now the Metu (or Setu for girls). This is a Bridge School which in 6 months the children / young for her age gives the basic knowledge required in each case, to attend a State school.
go after these 6 months it back into the mainstream. The children / Juendlichen visit now go through a normal state school and for the Scheduled Education.
The children / young people who are interested in any higher education can go straight to the Practial School. There, they learn a trade. Either bicycle mechanic, electrician or plumbing. For girls, there are computer courses or introductions to "Beauty Ness
While all of these stations to learn to live, the children play in the respective projects. For the catering is taken care of and they have to worry about anything. Also during the visit of a state school or even college room and board is free for them.
of the sons will eventually adults. You go to college and have a level of education which enables them to teach younger children. From that point Navajeevan is self-sufficient. The children were picked up at the station 10 years ago, now teaching in Navajeevan itself.
I here just over half of the sub-project of Navajeevan had imagined. These were only the most important, which form the backbone of Navajeevan. To name
were others: Chiguru, Child Safety Net, Naveena, Infirmary.
Those interested in a more detailed description of the whole project and in a self-representation, I should simply send an email.
