When Juber first joined Vision Rescue’s pre-primary classes in his slum community, he managed to make it to school on some days, but most days he stayed at home. After consecutive absences, Juber’s community worker visited his tin sheet home.
He found Juber, his younger sister Alfiya and baby Ilma helping their mother Nasreen who was ill with tuberculosis.
Nasreen was too weak to walk Juber and Alfiya to our classrooms just a few streets away. Yet, she was looking after her home and family of five children with no medical help.
With your support, Nasreen was immediately referred to a hospital by our medical team and thus began her year-long series of treatments.
During our Sports Day and Children’s Day celebrations, Juber was right at the forefront of everything.
His happiest moments were when he won two gold medals and a silver medal in the competitive races.
Ask Juber what he wants to become when he grows up and pat comes the answer – a policeman!
