Celebrating Differently

SHAFA believes in “Healing the Feeling”. On 9^th February 2012 one of the residents of SHAFA celebrated his 38^th biological birthday.

The staff of SHAFA had planned a surprise; they had invited his family on his birthday. They had arranged a cake and sweets for the residents and everyone present. He met his family which was very heart warming. This was followed by a cake cutting ceremony.

The resident shared that he doesn’t even remember the last time he celebrated his birthday with his dear ones, his family and that too without addiction/ substance. Even the family members added that they are delighted to see him so happy and to see him to move on with his life.

Touching Another Milestone

On 11^th February 2012, three residents of SHAFA entered the final stage of their treatment. They completed their three stages and stepped into their fourth Stage i.e. Follow up Stage.

The three were very happy and the residents could feel their joy.  This made them more excited and enthusiastic. Later they were introduced to the families of the residents, they shared their past, what they learnt from their present and what they have planned for their future. They shared their changes, their experiences and their learning’s in SHAFA. The family members present there asked them questions and cleared their doubts.

In the end all three were applauded with greetings and good wishes. They were given discharge bumps to wish them good luck and to make them remember what they have gone through and what they have learnt.
