They asked for small event we made it big:Bhaskar Rao.
Bhaskar Rao,Police Commissioner,said Make My wish cum through foundation had approached us about the couple of days back saying that they want to go to a police station so I invited them to the police commissioner’s office five children had come over here four boys and one girl all of them are less than 10 years age.So we made them take a guard of honour in front of the police commissioner it is a customary guard of honour everyday the guard gives to the police commissioner then they interacted with the police cannien squad and then they came upstairs and sat on the police commissioner’s chair signed small papers and after that they were given weapon a genuine weapon as well as handcuffs so that they come to feel.Every childs ambition is to wear a uniform to be a police officer so in our own small way we were able to give some service to them though they were repeatedly thanking to me but I need to thank them and such a location our own people become more sympathetic empathetic and kind and considerate towards society he added.
Gangadhar,Honorary Director,said,Make a wish works in 50 plus countries and we work primarily through volunteers.Our volunteers visit the hospital and there they the doctor recommends the child which is undergoing in a treatment for an life-threatening condition so our volunteers do some icebreakers with the children play some games with them and find out what is the deepest wish the child has in their heart.Then we work backwards and we work with the streven stake holders and see put a plan together how do we execute that wish and one of wish fulfilment today you saw where we executed.So basically this wish fulfilment will help the child to have positivity and hope in humanity it gives them the spirit to fight the deadly disease what they are battling.when asked in what stage the students now,Gangadhar said,See these are children who are battling a disease and most see childhood cancer is mostly curable.This children will get over a period of time will get well so this children’s as you saw they are walking and talking,and smiling they are not terminally ill.So they are battling the deadly disease and undergoing the treatment so we will not be having information in which stage and things like that which is irrelevant in this case but they are going through a treatment for a deadly disease.When asked how many kids have come today for this Gangadhar said see in India there are lakhs of children fighting this disease today we fulfilled the wish of five children who wanted to be a police officer for a day.When asked how do you work on this through volunteers or what for this he said.Anybody who is interested to be volunteer their time we are more than welcome to take them as an volunteer we will trained them what is required how to talk to the children and then we will assign them to the couple of hospitals which we work with in those hospitals they will go talk to the children and identify the deepest wish and they will come back and fill some tools what we give them basis which we will keep identifying every week how many we can identify based on the resources what we have people money and things like that and we will go and fullfil this issues.When asked the kids belongs to which state for this he said these most of this kids we don’t look at which state they belong we look at which hospital we visit for example we go to Kidwai hospital or Indira Gandhi hospital we don’t look at differentiate whethere they are from which state irrespective of which state most of them will some of them might be from Karnataka,Some of them must be from West Bengal,people come for treatment from different cities so we do not really know from which state they belong depends on the hospital where they are taking treatment is the parameter for us.While executing this service what are the major challenges you face,he said,one of the biggest challenges we face today is getting a volunteer,second thing is many times the children’s wishes are like you know to meet some celebrity so always reaching out to a celebrity is a challenge we will always go through our personnel connections and talk to multiple people to get an celebrity or let say in the case of police commissioner he was very glad and accepted but we want more people like that to come forward and help these little children to leave their dream and also inspire them to become what they want to become he added.
