For more than two decades the Rotary and Rotract Clubs of Kathmandu Mid-Town have worked with the Self Help Group of Cerebral Palsy (SGCP) in Dhapakhel, Lalitpur (not far from Nepal’s capital in Kathmandu) and with the affiliated Chitrapur Day Care Center for Cerebral Palsy Children through Mid-Town Past President Dr Chandra Lekha Tuladhar. The SGCP center houses some children with residential care and provides them with the physiotherapy that they need as well, offers services for the neighboring community as well as more distant areas through its outreach program. At its headquarters in Dhapakhel, the SGCP welcomes parents and affected children from remote areas and gives them much-needed awareness training and counseling. The practical advice that they receive helps them to deal with day-to-day situations back in their villages so that children can grow up in their own communities. The Chitrapur center provides much-needed day care facilities for these children.
Recently, a former member and his club of RC Capitol Hill Washington DC, provided the Chitrapur Day Care Center with some essentials such as special tables and chairs standing frame , gym ball, notice boards, wheel chair, blankets, rice cooker, food warming containers, and the like.
