The Disability That Enabled Me!

Lessons from Organisations working on Disability:

I always thought "You need to be emotionally very strong" while volunteering for Disability Issue... But after volunteering for couple of them like Sambhav Foundation, APD, Enable India, KiliKili, Navachetana School for Mentally challenged, Anga Karunya Kendra Akk, Samarthanam Trust for the Disabled, Margadarshi, Bubbles Centre for Autism, Mitra Jyothi etc etc working with Mentally and Physically Challenged, I realised that You need not me emotionally strong but you just need to be yourself. As my journey continued with these couple of excellent NGO's as a Volunteer, I learnt not just to be Emotionally Strong but Be Myself, Be Strong, Face Challenges, Accept Challenges and ya I learnt 2 beautiful new languages Basic Uncontracted Braille and Basic Sign Language... Today I can proudly speak to a Hearning Impaired and read a Visual Impaired's notes in Braille, Give them a personalised Braille cards too! Not just all these little lessons, but, today my whatever little experience with these Disability focus NGOs have enabled me to be a Social Entrepreneur... I have today taken a step ahead with my life partner Prateek Kaul and have started GiftAbled Foundation (www.giftabled.com) which has now worked with 1222 beneficiaries in past one year 3 months:) Know about all these NGOs and if you love their work Support them in whatever capacity you can!

Happy Learning:)
