Indian Association for the Blind (lAB), based in South India is a well-known non-profit organization working to provide education, employment, training and rehabilitation for the visually challenged from rural areas. Late Mr. S.M.A.Jinnah, the visually challenged activist and a group of like-minded visually challenged people founded IAB in 1985.
Since its inception, IAB has educated and rehabilitated more than 19420 visually challenged children and youths mainly from rural areas of Tamil Nadu. This drive helped us to raise funds by $636. Thanks to all the philanthropists who gave hands to raise this much.
The festival of lights - Diwali is celebrated throughout India and abroad with immense splendor and grandeur. Marked across five days, one gets to witness different colorful and lively varieties of diyas, bursting crackers and fireworks, relishing sumptuous food, offering pujas, and wearing new clothes. Not just about enjoying the numerous festivities, Diwali is all about celebrating the victory of good over evil and light over darkness. Make your colorful festival even more bright and vibrant by making the upcoming Diwali a very special to the visually challenged people.
Charity sees the need, not the cause. Diwali is more about the spirit of giving than receiving. There are a lot of kids who would love to celebrate Diwali the way we do in our homes. So 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.
