Vadodara: A few years ago, he had a Cushy government job in Orissa.
But Benudhar Behera, a transgender, had to get out of his job when he faced abuse at work because he became a third gender.
But he has now decided to become a Covid soldier and serve those in need in the middle of a pandemic.
“After quitting my work in 2012, I went to Mathura because I really didn’t understand how to deal with my life as a transgender.
After spending a few years as a bum, I touched Lakshya Trust, which was based in Vadodara and shifted here four Last month, “said Behera 39 years old.
He then decided to give a new direction for his life and become a Covid soldier.
“I took this course offered by Deepak Foundation to study patient care skills and Covid case management.
I will soon join an institution that will help me serve covid patients,” Behera said to Ti.
Like him, eight other transgender people also pursued a home health aide course offered by Deepak Foundation since the last five years.
But this year they have decided the first time to integrate transgender people with other students.
“Our goal is to bring the transgender community to the mainstream and offer them livelihoods too.” This course includes identification of Covid signs and symptoms, use of antigen testing kits, pulse oximers and orientation to Covid-19 management.
Students are also taught Palliative care and counseling in the case of mental health, “said Archana Joshi, Director, Deepak Foundation.” I was involved in many social works during my stay in Noida and therefore I decided to become a Covid warrior and serve people, ” Parvati Nair said, another transgender from Vadodara.
He did his school in the city and then shifted to Kerala to graduate before taking a job in Dubai.
“I returned to India five years ago and joined a private company in Noida.
But last year I lost a job during the Kuncian.
I always want to serve that need so I decided to take this course and become a Covid warrior, “Nair added.
