The situation has changed a lot as of 2023 BUT IT IS STILL NOT AN EASY ADMISSION. More girls are educated in reality and so the number of applicants increased maybe four fold.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO GIVE TO A NURSING FUND?
THE BEGINNING OF NURSE TRAINING BY NEW HOPE – When we made the move from Jeevan Jyothi Home in Vizianagaram to Kothavalasa there was in a separate room a group of 10 Class students. In those day circa 2008 – 10th Class was almost the ultimate of educate for the social and financial section of many families. Our 10th class had many students who were from leprosy colony backgrounds. If I write TODAY AND SAY THAT ‘GETTING GIRLS INTO Nursing and with a scholarship and at a Government District Hospital is difficult = IT’S NOTHING > compared to the admission of the three senior girls with Ruth. Girls needed to be much more than just good mark and followed by exams and tests that were hard to imagine.
Between two women Trustees of linked Trusts – Maggie sister – Australia and Elizabeth Toon – UK Trust have given and raised funds many times to ensure that funds were made available for senior girls wishing to become nurses.
Motivated by many factors and including the incredible fund raising in Broome with the December function we are ear marking funds for Nursing Scholarship. Putting the support into Fixed Deposits at the Bank – ready for the always hoped for ‘accepted for nursing’ letter. When a senior girl gets this we New Hope have (like all selected for the year by the Government) – get 24 hours to ‘be there’ ready and with Fees, Uniforms and certified Certificates. In 2023 we have been so fortunate to have 2 seniors admitted. There are now 3 Nurses in Training Including Parvithra who is doing a Primary Health Care course. Renuka has now completed and waiting appointment. Babi who completed her course and is engaged will try to enroll for higher Nursing skills if funding became available B.Sc-Nursing.
Nurse Maggie is a poignant documentary that looks at the extraordinary life of Australian nurse and ‘Order of Australia Medal’ recipient, Maggie Sister and the work she undertakes with India’s most reviled and outcast people. The documentary by Heath Film works on two levels. Primarily it delves into Maggie’s chequered past, examines what motivates her, and what drives her to do this confronting work. Secondly it takes a physical journey with Nurse Maggie through the most inaccessible and marginalised areas of India. The physical and emotional journeys are inextricably entwined. As the film unfolds it becomes clear that through helping others Nurse Maggie has been able to emotionally transform her own tumultuous life and discover a true sense of self-worth.
