Dr. Manorama Pinakapani, the director of the Community Health Education Society (CHES), dedicated nearly three decades to ensuring that every child, regardless of circumstance, is embraced with dignity, equality, and justice.
As the driving force behind CHES, Dr. Pinakapani's journey began with a profound act of compassion. Two children, afflicted with hepatitis B and HIV, found themselves thrust into a world of fear and stigma within the confines of a hospital ward. Dr. Pinakapani's determination, sparking a chain of events that would forever alter the landscape of child welfare.
CHES being fueled by a singular mission to provide solace and sanctuary to those society had cast aside. What started as a modest endeavour to care for two orphaned souls has blossomed into a beacon of hope for over 325 children, each with a unique story of resilience and triumph.
Through the lens of Dr. Manorama's experiences, we dive deep into the challenges, triumphs, and unwavering commitment that have defined her journey. From battling the scourge of HIV stigma to navigating the treacherous waters of disease outbreaks and societal discrimination. Dr. Pinakapani's dedication serves as a testament to the transformative power of compassion and empathy. Through the eyes of Dr.Manorama Pinakapani, we gain insight into a world where every child is not just seen, but truly understood a world where compassion knows no bounds, and the promise of a brighter tomorrow.
