<br/>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><u>Case 1. (Name- Ms 47 yrs, widow)</u></b></p>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify">My husband died of HIV/AIDS 7 years ago after a prolonged illness. All the savings and properties we had were sold to meet the cost of his treatment. His<br/>
death left me with poverty and no hope for future. All my 4 children (3<br/>
daughters & 1 son) were very young then. I was worried about their<br/>
education, food and health. I had to<br/>
take loans from moneylenders to run a vegetable vendor. There was no profit as<br/>
the interest was high. It was in 2008 my family was enrolled as a beneficiary<br/>
of FXB village. With their support I could establish a grocery shop. My 2<br/>
children were supported with school fees and also go to the FXB’s community<br/>
support classes. Today I can earn up to Rs 2500/- approx. per month as profit from my business. I can<br/>
save sum amount of the money in the bank.</p>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify"></p>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify">This woman spouse died of AIDS, fortunately she is tested negative. She was struggling looking after her kids but now she is self sustain.</p>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify"></p>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><u>Case 2. (Name- Ms , 45 yrs)</u></b></p>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify">Both my husband and I are HIV positive. My husband is on ARVT since 2005. Fortunately all our 10 children are not infected. During the early days of 2000, there was lot of stigma and<br/>
discrimination. My children could not play freely with other children of the<br/>
neighborhood. In the Anganwadi centre my children were not allowed to share<br/>
spoons and utensils with others. We have come in contact with FXB Manipur in<br/>
2004. My husband was referred to the ARVT centre at Jawaharlal Nehru hospital,<br/>
Imphal. One turning point in our life was the coming of FXB village. In<br/>
addition to the education, nutrition and health care, there was income<br/>
generation support. We now sell charcoal and candles. The money was not the all<br/>
important. The empowerment with a changed thought towards positive living was<br/>
more important. I feel that with all these years of living with HIV I stay<br/>
healthy. I always know that FXB India Suraksha Manipur branch has given me this<br/>
outlook. I strongly feel that PLHIVs should act as agents of change and should<br/>
lead to empower the community.</p>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify"></p>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal"><u>Case 3. (Name- Ms , 66 yrs)</u></b></p>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify">I have 3 grandchildren to look after. They became orphans in 2005. There was a time when my eldest grand daughter got dropout from school. I could not pay the tuition and admission fees. FXB India<br/>
Suraksha Manipur Branch took the initiative to put the child and other 2<br/>
children back to school. The school authority also supports my children with<br/>
some concession in fees. They are doing well now. I know it will again be a<br/>
hard life without FXB’s support. We have a handloom purchased with the support<br/>
of FXB. We produce traditional shawls and garments.</p>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify"></p>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify">This old woman is supported by the community to generate income for looking after her orphan grand children’s, she is sustain now.</p>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify"></p>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><u>Case 4. (Name- Ms , 31 yrs)</u></b></p>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify">In my family my son was first detected of HIV. He is now 11 years old. He was frequently taken ill with fever, diahorrea and swelling on the side of the neck. In later year my husband also got ill. He<br/>
was once an intravenous drug user. Due to fear of the community and also<br/>
understanding the income of the family, he resisted treatment. After a month or<br/>
two he died. It was in the year 2004. Widowhood, HIV infection, fears and<br/>
isolation was all what I had. In 2007 with the help of FXB India Suraksha<br/>
Manipur, I was referred to the testing centre in one of the hospitals. The year<br/>
2008 gave me the power to live a better life. With the amount of Rs 2000/- through<br/>
FXB village, I could start to produce woolen garlands. There is a huge demand in<br/>
the market. In the festive seasons, I<br/>
sometimes have to hire other workers. The profit I make out of this income<br/>
generation activity is Rs 3500/- per month. Now I don’t have any fear in life.<br/>
I can lead a life of my own. Even if I have to pay more than Rs 500/- for my<br/>
children education I can do it now. Once again I thank FXB India Suraksha<br/>
Manipur. I feel happy that my products<br/>
are accepted by the community though I am living with HIV.</p>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify"></p>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify">With high demand of her products this woman is self supported now.</p>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify"></p>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify">The Group was so motivated with what they are now even though they come across difficulties in the Beginning.</p>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify">Below are the plans the group made.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify"><br/></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify"><span>1.The</span> group agreed to transfer to other group affected/infected by HIV the experience they get in their life.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify">2.The group members with their conveniences will visit NGOs and stake holders to include them in the community visits and transfer what they have been experiencing.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify">3.The groups will visit each other to Appreciate and support each other.</p>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">We celebrate the achievements. FXB India Suraksha Imphal Manipur was doing a magnificent Job in bringing the community and clients together, they have been already into CLCP, they show/SOW<br/>
the competence process SEED in the lives of the people of Manipur by successfully<br/>
implementing sustainable livelihood programme.</p>

<div>Going to the Village for SALT visit by VAN besides me sat a great Mischief Dr.Rafique, along the National Highway he share me a story about the Milestone written BRO Drive Slow reach Safely, BRO Better Late than Never, BRO Don,t Drink while Driving, and he wonder why the people here are so polite calling everyone BRO on the Board besides the Milestone, but at the end before reaching the town he saw the abreviation BRO=Border Roads Organization. He was already motivated with the word BRO and the impression he have on the people was already good.</div>
<div><br/></div>
<div>We reached the Village and they pointed at us a smart aged man they called him Uncle ACP (AIDS Competence Process) His Name is Uncle Haolai. Every time he stands up he take out his hand from his pocket a story comes out from his pocket said Dr.Rafique. Uncle ACP is the man who facilitate the villages of the area on the CLCP process he shared us unlimited innitiative of stories from his pocket about the community respond there.</div>
<div><br/></div>
<div>I happen to sit with two young girl, far behind me sat my old friend SANA, after we had an experienced sharing session he called me James Bond even before he use to called me the same. Now he called me CLCP James Bond.One new thing is that Everyone got their names in this KF. Dr.Rafique called Rituu is like GOD I called her GOD as she cares for everyone and available anytime anywhere with what we do, we dont she her eat or drink.</div>
<div><br/></div>
<div>So we find lots of new things new motivation and new eperience that we keep it to share where we will be moving on.</div>
<div><br/></div>
<div>A young girl whom I sat with share on her experienced how she got involved with CLCP and how it changed her life and she tells that she wants to keep on telling others is that. His uncle (Brother of her father) was detected HIV positive she do not know what to do, with the Stigma and Discrimination prevailing in the community, that makes her to Join the Volunteer team looking for the way how she could make inclusion of her uncle in the community, after sometime she manage to convince her uncle in the team which he was a very active and effective member before he died.</div>
<div><br/></div>
<div>The stories shows me how young people have the capacity and strength in the community to cahnge people both the victims and the community.</div>
<div><br/></div>
<div>It freshens my outlook on CLCP I learn more a lot about the unlimited way the CLCP have to respond the changing isuue of the community.</div>NORTH EAST FACILITATION TEAM (India) NEFTtag:aidscompetence.ning.com,2010-05-18:2028109:BlogPost:212852010-05-18T07:00:00.000ZJomahttps://aidscompetence.ning.com/profile/Joma
