A self made Super Hero

Ever wondered who a real life superhero is? Is he the one who is strong or the one who brings people's strength back? Is he the one who can be invisible or the one who can make addiction disappear? If your answer in both cases is latter, then you yourself can meet a real life superhero.

13 years ago, this man took a major step by bringing into existence a rehabilitation center which would make an addict realize his societal role. The 'power of healing' technique taught by this center continues to transform lives even today.

People may argue, that the very individual who creates an organisation gets lost in the maze of entrepreneurship. But he is a man unlike many others. He has not just designed each and every session that takes place in the 'therapeutic community', but he also guides his staff members, counsels patients, suggests improvements, incorporates novelty and looks over every activity that forms part of the Shafa routine.

A marvelous quality that he possesses is care. Whoever works at Shafa is treated like a family member and so you have his support in everything you do. Here at Shafa, you are allowed to fall, because there will always be this man who'll help you stand up. This man that I refer to as a superhero, is the one who made good things happen. He is who we call Mr. Ranjan Dhar.

Love, Halwa and Recovery!

February was a month of mixed emotions, feelings and Love in Shafa Home, Kotdwar.  It brought the Valentine’s week and every resident was really excited. They made greeting cards and wrote their feelings for their families, their loved ones and for their teachers. One of the residents shared the story of St. Valentine and everyone was amazed to know about it. They all hugged each other and wished each other a Happy and Joyous Valentine’s Day.

One of the residents celebrated his 1^st recovery birthday. As he shared his feelings, his grief and his wrong doings, everyone in the room was mum and listened to him as though they could visualize things happening in front of them.

Later, people enjoyed a nice dinner and delicious Halwa.

One of the residents also celebrated his 28^th Wedding Anniversary, the day was full of love and surprise for him.

Residents really enjoyed the month as one of them went out with seniors for sightseeing in Kotdwar. The family enjoyed volley, dance, cultural gatherings and sessions conducted by Mr. Ranjan Dhar. Residents were really happy to learn more and more about life, about themselves and about the treatment. In all a fruitful month in RECOVERY.
