    Description

    We are small DMD Day care center run for providing regular services like Physiotherapy,education,computers,art and paintings,entertainments etc. to poor Muscular Dystrophy disable children in Nepal.
    The regular activities ongoing from our DMD center is in the following ways:
    1)Physiotherapy:Regular physiotherapy services is most important to DMD boys in order to keep the muscles and bone power as strong as possible n contractures will be more flexible with daily physiotherapy services.However there is no any specific cure available for MD in the world yet!till this dates.
    2)Entertainment:DMD boys need happiness n lots of fun to reduce their everyday depression being loneliness. Letting not to feel themselves burden for the families,communities,nation n definitely in the world, entertainment is most important. As long as they r engaged with playing in computers games, watching movies, having conversation each other with same disabilities,giving them proper family environment at one roof can reduce their depression and using their hands for games for a long time their muscles strength increases. Every humans has right to be happy in life as long as they remain in the world.
    3)Education: It is the most important part of life for all humans. Considering DMD boys worst health condition and geographically difficulties circumstances in Nepal it becomes hard for DMD boys to visit the center and go back home everyday. For them we have arranged the parents to stay near by the center so that they can easily bring their children’s onto us for good quality of life. The daily activities ongoing from our center for DMD boys r general English classes, paintings, drawings ,computers etc. and definitely Physiotherapy, Entertainment etc.
