“Understand all hearts, disable the label” - An event promoting disability awareness.

Covid times - The new normal

The pandemic has thrown us all into a state of complete chaos. For you and me, as “typically” functioning individuals, the pandemic has upturned and rocked our lifeboat, leaving us in a state of constant anxiety.

Speak life - a workshop on speech therapy at Handimachal, 31 August 2019

Oh! The joy two parents of a child have when they hear their sweet little angel utter the words, “Mama” or “Dada”! The love which was already so abundant seems to overflow and outpour from them into their precious ones’ heart!
