Abhishek, age 5 is a part of the Deep Griha creche for the past one year. Soon after Abhishek, his younger brother Pradeep was also enrolled in the creche.

Their mother is the only earning member in the family. She works as a maid servant. She found out about the crèche facility at Deep Griha from her neighbours. She sends both her children to the Deep Griha because “Mi majhya mulanna ikde sodun befikir houn kaama la jau shakte. Mi ghari ektich kamavnari aslyane, mala ya mulanna don veleche jevan hi dyala kathin hote. Ikde tyanna ek velche jevan va kahi ajar jhala tar aushad –pani kele jaate(Once I drop my kids here, I can go to work without any worries. I’m th only earning person in the family so my income is little which makes it really difficult to provide two meals a day for my children. Here they get one meal a day and basic medication in case they fall ill). She adds, “Mulanchi ikde chaan kalji ghetli jaate. Barech khel, gaani, goshti aani sarvat mahatvache - changlya savayi shikavlya jatat. (They look after my the kids very well. They teach them many games, songs, stories and most importantly good values)".

Looking at the helpers in creche, Abhishek has now learned to look after his younger brother affectionately. Both of them enforce the rules they follow in the crèches at home, such as wash hands before eating food
