I am the youngest son in a family of five children, I was the apple of everyone eye. Life was normal until the day some patches started developing on my body. It was around this time that my elder brother noticed me hurting and sometime burning my right hand with out even realizing it, he took me to the local doctor, the doctor there doubted leprosy and Meanwhile, I faced discrimination from the most unexpected event, the doctor in my town refused to touch me, forget offering me any treatment; this delay in treatment was slowly leading to a deformity to in my physic. That word leprosy meant nothing to me at that time. I hardly understood its implication, but as I grew up, the discrimination I started facing at the hands of my own friends and relatives convinced me that I was cursed. My own blood family members refused to eat the food, which I handed over to them, by now, my relatives, friends, neighbors had come to know about my situation. They openly started maintaining a safe distance, children in our neighborhood refused to play with me. Even my family members did not let me meet the guests who visited us for fear of them coming to know of my condition. I began hating my existence. As reality sunk in, momentary of past incident flashed across my mind. I remembered how as a child if a beggar afflicted with leprosy came to our house, my mother would tell me to give the alms but to be careful not to touch him, I recalled the times when I went to the mosque with my father, and there would be rows of people sitting on the steps, with bodies scared by leprosy and how immediately my father would pull me away from them. I was depressed, why me? I kept asking myself. The next thought that came to my mind was whether the life henceforth was worth living. I could not see myself seated at those mosque stairs asking for alms. Ending my life was an option that I was considering and giving it quite a thought. My entire dream disappeared in a second. My sister's wedding was called off when the prospective groom, s family came to know of my condition. But something told me there was still hope; the only option left before me was to leave home. So, one day I left my town without telling anyone at home, certain. I knew it was a hard battle that I had to fight on my own. I did not know the outcome; so finally, I reached Vimla hospital Mumbai where I came to know that this disease can be cured. Where they treat leprosy-afflicted individuals. I immediately went here. The doctor there kept me in a hospital for almost one year; it was there for the first time that a doctor actually touched me.
I stayed in hospital for treatment, gradually, I was recovering, But all this while, the desire to get back my dignity, to live the life, I had the dreamt of, kept burning somewhere within me, I kept on telling myself, still had a life to live and I wasn't going to let it go just because of an unfortunate disease. During my battle with the disease and interaction with all I have come across, I have understood one basic fact, people do not fear the disease, and they fear the deformity. MDT cures the ailment, but not the abnormalities. I thought the skilled training can only become meaningful for survival life so I decided to find some place where I get something for my career making and finally approached, The Ramgarh reintegration center (a unit of Sarthak Manav Kushtashram) that came to my rescue again. Because I wanted to live a prestigious life, but due to some reliable sources, I collected the details of Ramgarh reintegration center and rung up phone to core management and asked about available training courses for him, on his telephonic conversation, they given a explain details about RRC and different trade and opportunity after completing course. I was much confident after receiving phone and so much enthusiastic to take admission in this trade. They counseled me and given details about rehabilitation activities as per interest and qualification, Mr Rahim is a sincere young. At present he is undergoing a 6 month training on different art like making perfume spray, incense sticks, candle making as per his interest after completion course he will be able to start a new life with starting his new shop and His dream is to earn money to become a self independent with dignity.
