Diwali Experience for Visually Challenged Student.

By Pooja | Communication Manager

lndian Association for the Blind (lAB) is a renowned non-profit organization based in South India. It works towards providing good quality education, employment, training and rehabilitation facilities for visually challenged children and youths from rural backgrounds. It was established in 1985 by visually challenged activist Late Mr. S.M.A.Jinnah and a group of like-minded visually challenged people. Till date, IAB has benefited more than 11200 youths. They now hold prestigious positions in society.

we have raised totally $336 through this project. We would like to thank the donors for this philanthropic gesture. This amount, we be useful to gift our visually challenged students with new clothes, fire crackers and sweets during the Diwali festival. Our students were really happy as it was a great opportunity for them to celebrate Diwali just like any other sighted person. It is really a dream come true for them as such things have always appeared to be a distant dream to them which has now been fulfilled, thanks to the generosity of our sponsors.

We look forward to raising more for this cause. As always, we, along with GlobalGiving, will do our best in reaching out to generous donors across the Globe and will strive to bring happiness on the face of each of our beneficiaries.
