Foreword

Greetings from Swabodhini!

February started off jubilantly with our children going on a field trip to VGP Marine Kingdom. They enjoyed it thoroughly and it was absolutely thrilling to see our non verbal children communicating their experience through gestures.

We are proud to share that BumbleB Trust’s Kalvi40 team has partnered with Swabodhini for their community-based rehabilitation programme to assess children with special needs in rural areas.

We had visitors from the US and Denmark visiting both our campuses. They witnessed our therapy sessions and enjoyed the snacks made by our children.

Mr.Sundar Chanrai, our well wisher and donor for the past 30 years spent time with our children and offered to conduct an eye camp, provide spectacles, perform surgery if needed – all free of cost.

With our annual day fast approaching, children are all busy practising songs, dances and skits with great enthusiasm.

Meet you with fresh updates next month!

Best Regards
Ms Nandini Priyakumari
