Visit to "The association of people with disability"

After a lot of postponement, Raj and I finally visited "The association of people with disability" in Lingarajapuram yesterday. This organization is a well developed organization, the campus spawning about 2 acres and well maintained.

Mr. Basavaraju (executive director) and Mrs Sudha showed us around the campus, the different divisions and different activities they carry on to make people more self-reliant.
There is a tailoring unit, well setup computer lab which dishes many courses, a tailoring unit, physiotherapy unit, unit for MR kids, horticulture unit, device manufacturing unit and so on.

Living Raaga fits into the tailoring unit which comprised of girls and women and also the MR kids unit which makes greeting cards, envelopes and address cards.

I showed the samples to Mr. Basavaraju and the rest of the staff. They were very receptive of the idea and keen to start off on almost every art.
I am waiting to start off classes there.
