This year, like every year, ChildRaise had organised a Diwali Exhibition on the 30th and 31st of October 2010, which was a great success. We were successful in creating a lot of awareness on children with special needs. Well-wishers and supporters poured in, providing us with appreciation & encouragements throughout.
On 14th November we will be celebrating Children's Day & on 17th November we will celebrate National Epilepsy Day. Indian Epilepsy Association has appealed to their chapters all over India & other organisations to focus on women and children with epilepsy for a unified effort to raise epilepsy awareness from all corners.
Preparations for festivities were on when we received the sad news of Mr. Damodar Tilak, disability activist, who passed away in Pune, where he used to reside along with his wife & Nandita, fondly called as Nandu (who is mentally challenged) .Mr. Tilak, had worked tirelessly for the welfare of mentally challenged. In financial planning section we have made available his entire book. We, at ChildRaise pray that his soul may rest in peace...
