Success story

A youth of age 43 with disability type Kyphosis and mental retardation, joined Patan CBR Organization on 5^th August 2014. Our aim was to provide vocational training and some sort of education needed to run his small shop after providing skill training. By the end of one year, he can now make some products like various kinds of candles, necklace, envelops. Also, he can understand some mathematical skills necessary to run his small shop. Despite being mentally retarded, due to the effort of teachers, he can make some vocational products. We are now searching a donor for him to run a small shop so that he can lead his life independently.

Besides this, it is my great pleasure to let you know that even close to 2^nd year of our relationship with Globalgiving we are able to continue past supports like :

• Lunch for 3 children
• Service/education, transportation for 5 children
• Medicine distribution for 4 children

GREAT THANK YOU once again all of you for your continuous support. Hope for your recurring donations to our project.
