Our efforts to manage the persons with disabilities during the pandemic period is more challenging because unlike any other persons, PwDs are prone to the infection due to low immunity levels and their restricted mobility also is a concern. However, we have successfully managed and have quite satisfactorily rendered our services to them. Our field workers in rotation were at the doors of the PwDs every 10 ten days delivering the safety kits, dry rations. We have also distributed leaflets and conducted counseling to create awareness among them and the society in general.
We have covered more than 1600 families of PwDs in the rural areas of this region. We have received spontaneous appreciation from all the Pwds, their families and the general public of the region for our timely and impactful services to the PwDs. We realied that this was an opportunity given to us to discover our own unknown potentials and stay ahead.
The second wave of the pandemic is looming large and starring at us. With the help of all the stakeholders, well-wishers and supporters, we will overcome the second wave also with the Grace of God and through our innovative efforts.
