Dream has come true

Ms.Sonal won Silver Medal at Para Table Tennis Costa Brava Championship.

Dear Donors,

I am Sonal  from Gujarat. I was the student of the Blind People's Association, did my technical course from Industrial Training Centre of Blind People's Association. I always dream to travel the world and explore it. But my disability always makes me feel that I can not do that, and will not be possible. When I was in ITI, BPA asked me a question which was very silly to me. They asked me would you like to be a para table tennis player. I was reluctant about that. They counselled me and motivated me for the training session. They have provided facilities to me, I started to practice, and become very much interested in that. I was playing on normal wheelchair which was used for patients or people with disabilities. I played state and national level para table tennis championship. I won the matched and qualified for commonwealth games. It was very challenging for me to play against international players who use sports wheelchairs. Their wheelchairs were so attractive, light wheel and they can move very easily. It was very difficult for me to play against such a player. I always dreamt that I would have such a sports wheelchair. I waited for almost 10 years because it was very expensive and I can not afford the same. BPA has helped me to get this wheelchair with the support of Motivation UK and Donors of GlobalGiving. I am so happy to have such a world-class sports wheelchair. I feel TOP of the World. I participated in the Para Table Tennis Costa Brava Championship. I won silver Medal in Doubles. I thank Donors for your wonderful Gift and request you to support more people who are waiting for Angles. 

 

BPA provides best quality assistive devices such as Artificial Limbs, Customized WheelChairs, Digital Hearing Aids, Smart Cane to the people with disabilities. We request you to donate to improve functional abilities of the people with disabilities. Donate for Dignified Life.
