Invitation to attend an event organized by Manthan, an NGO working for the beneficiary communities

Dear,

Friends.....

You are kindly invited to celebrate SWAYAM- On Our Own on 10^th Feb '08 Sunday 3:30pm to 7:30pm, Nardulla Tank Maidan Near Siddhivinayak Mandir, Dadar West.

"SWAYAM- On Our Own" a step towards humanity, we at Manthan and Shri Siddhivinayak – A Great Solace unanimously take the vow to stand for the differently abled community. Also through this program we would encourage the youth of India to build and showcase their significant abilities.

The Cause:

SWAYAM is an event being organized for the special children and adults who are visually impaired, mentally challenged, physically disabled and hearing impaired. The life of these special people starts with additional struggle than that of others. They have to do extra efforts to achieve basic milestone, which comes to us naturally. Being on the other side of society, they become resilient and prefer to take life "head on". Their approach towards life is different as they have the audacity to fight and enjoy life with a smile on their face. We salute them and as a support to their resilient nature, Manthan is organizing

SWAYAM "on our own"

We are gratified by presence of esteemed dignitaries participating in this festival.

AIM OF SWAYAM:

To prove that they are not disabled but are "differently able".

1. This event will not only give them a chance to participate but also it will give them the exposure towards all the communities.

2. It will be an opportunity for recognition and appreciation for the participating NGO's, special schools, institutions and vocational training centers, for the kind of work they do. As this event will highlight their work and efforts to be a difference in these special children lives.

3. To make a committed and determined volunteers base who will actively be a part for the ongoing programmes.

4. To boost their self – confidence and motivate them to continue with the wonderful work they do for the society.

Thus this event will help in the overall development of the society as a whole. Highlighting the issues of the special people and thus helping them get their due in the society.
