Children with CP seem to be nobody's business. Many father's have been known to divorce their wives, blaming them for the birth of a CP child. Usually, only the
mother is left to fend for the child, and the father, if well educated and sympathetic, chipping in. Other siblings usually tolerate them, and may look after them grudgingly after the parents are no more.
It therefore becomes imperative to build a home for CP where they will be well looked after and loved.
Parents of some handicapped children with CP have get together to form an Association, to build a home for CP and Mentally Handicapped children, with governmental backing in the form of maximum income tax exemption for donation, subsidized land allotment, and building. Parents desirous of registering their child should earmark the recommendd portion of their insurance, savings and retirement benefits into a trust fund, to be given to the Home when they are no more, in return for a permanent placement of their ward in the home till his / her death, inclusive of board and lodging, medical benefits and other expenses./p>
In Delhi, INDIA, such an association has come into being, called HANDICAPPED CHILDREN'S PARENTS ASSOCIATION. It is registered as a charitable organization, and has been granted the highest level of income tax exemption on donations (100%). It has been allotted land for the home at a place called Dwarka in south-west of Delhi. The Home is built and is now functional to a large extent and now some support / therapy services have already started from the autumn of 2003.
