Dear Donors, and Well Wishers

What a beginning of the New Year 2020. The month of January brought lots of joys and happiness for children with disabilities, especially in Rajasthan Center. How your support has helped to improve the quality of life of children with disabilities in our newly opened Resource Center demonstrated in the following story.

Sahil is a young boy having cerebral plays with intellectual disabilities. he is 12 years young boy from Mandore village. He lives with his parents. His parent works as a sweeper in the local panchayat. They have very low income, and can not afford physiotherapy services for his son Sahil. They were always worried about him. Many times, they had tied Sahil with a bed when they went out for work. The team of inclusive education program approached his parents and informed them about the inclusive education program. They were worried about the fees when they were told that it would be free of charge. They are so happy. Now, Sahil receives physiotherapy services free of charge every day. Due to daily training on life skills, like clothing, grooming and hygiene. He is now able to maintain his personal hygiene, his communication skills are also improved, and started helping his parents in household work. The physiotherapy has helped him to improve his functional ability and reduce his hyperactivity. Sahil parents are very happy and are very thankful to donors like you whose help has improved the quality of life of Sahil.

Expansion of Inclusive Schooling Program in Rajast

By Bhushan Punani | Executive Secretary

New Centre in Rajasthan

Dear Donors and Well Wishers,

Greetings from India!!

The last year was very fruitful and very encouraging to us. We have successfully implemented the project. The inclusive school in Gujarat has made very good progress. The school strength has also increased, now we have 283 students from a very poor family, and 29 students are having different types of disability. We have also started inclusive library services for the students in the school with your support.

The various competitions such as reading, writing, mathematics, science fair, sports have been organized for the comprehensive development of the students. The regular Parents Teachers meeting was organized to share concerns, and progress of the child.

This experiences and your continuous supports and motivation has encouraged us to expand such education services in a needy and remote area. We have taken an initiative to start an inclusive schooling program named Prayas "Comprehensive Development Resource and Rehabilitation Centre for Children with Disability". The centre was inaugurated on 5th September 2019 on Teachers Day. The centre has adopted a very unique approach for inclusive services. The disability-specific services as Braille reading writing support, sign language support, physiotherapy and other informal academic support will be provided at the centre. The children who are severely disabled, and can not come to the centre, these children with disabilities will be provided such services at doorsteps. Now, 28 students have already started accessing the services of the centre.

We are once again thanking you for your wonderful support, and encouragement. We wish you Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2020 in Advance.

Thanking you

Inclusive Schooling

By Dr Bhushan Punani | Executive Secretary

Welcome by Teacher

Dear Donor and Well Wishers,

Greetings!!

We are very grateful for your continuous support and motivation. We are very glad to inform you that our Inclusive Schooling Program has picked up very well. The school has become very popular in the region. In this year, we have started Kindergarten for children with disabilities as well as non-disabilities. The school was reopened on 10th June 2019. This year, there was a rush for admission to our school.

You will be surprised to know that 18 children with disabilities were identified during the summer break who were out of schooling. The school teachers did the home visit and counselled the parents. Their major concerned was the transportation to send the children to the school. This barrier has been removed by providing transport facilities to these children with disabilities. The special vehicle has been arranged for the same.

World Yoga Day was celebrated in the school. The Yoga Trainer was invited to share the importance of Yoga and meditation in day to day life. The students performed Yoga and did the meditation.

This year, we have started library facilities in the school, the storybooks, magazines and other educational materials are available for the students in the library.

Now, we have planned to set up Smart Class Room in the school. Hence, students can learn with the support of digital media. We request you to support us to set up 2 Modern Smart Class Rooms. The estimated budget of the two classrooms is 3200 US$.

Please share this report to your family members, friends, and motivate them to support the cause that you do.

We request you to visit the school and our organization whenever you have happened to be in India. We will be very happy to arrange logistics facility for you.

Looking forward to your support in future.

With Best Wishes
