I wish to see all kinds of animals
Dhanushri a bubbly 8 years old girl suffering from Thalassemia Major referred by Vani Vilas Hospital. She lives with her parents and they are working as farmers. She uses to visit Bangalore on a regular basis for her blood transfusion. They are very small farmers and having one and half acre land but fully dependant on the rain as they were lacking any alternative water irrigation facilities. They grew ragi, jowar, groundnut and some pulses if it rains. They were finding difficulty to meet her medical expenses every month though they were getting free blood transfusion, they need to bare the travel expenses from Nelamangala to Bangalore.
On the first day of interaction though she got blood transfusion a few minutes before the volunteers could speak to her, she starts talking with them very energetically without any kind of shyness. She speak with them concerning to her school, teacher and friends. She was keenly interested in birds, animals and especially with the butterflies. She was engrossed in reading story and comic books in her school library. So, while interacting with her our volunteers find out her innermost wish to see the Bannerghatta national park, where she can enjoy safari in the forest, Butterfly Park and zoological park.
So one special day, along with the volunteer she visited Bannerghatta national park with her mother and younger sister. While we going for the safari, she sat near the window in the Safari vehicle initially she saw bears, deers, lions and tigers. She started enjoying herself while seeing each animal and also counting the number of animals she saw. Even her younger sister started take pleasure in seeing the animals and screaming the name of the animals she saw.
After the safari all of them went to butterfly park, she enjoyed watching variety of butterflies, flowers and the life cycle of the butterflies which displayed in the museum. Then all of us watched a movie of variety of butterflies in India and took a snap in the butterfly park along with her parent and younger sister.
Then the volunteer, girl and family moved to zoological park. In the park she keenly watched animals such as deers, elephants, wild cats, porcupine, cobra, python, rat snakes, and birds like parrots, pigeon, kingfisher, hornbill, ducks, peacock, and woodpecker and so on. When she saw her favorite animal cheetah there was no bounds to her happiness and wishes to have a snap along with it. On her way back to city she sang throughout the journey and fulfilled her cherished wish.
