Distribution of Tri-Cycle for the special children

We distributed two Tri-Cycles to the poor school going children of Badripur and Timli villages. The children have difficulty to walk as normal children do. With the providence of these tri-cycles they both can go to school to study and do their daily activities with much ease. The village head (Pradhan jee) was present at the occasion with other people from the village. She appreciated the work, we did (a sewing center for women and tutoring center poor school children) in her village. Thank you HCH and CHGN-UKC for your partnership. While people gathered for this program, we also covered T.B. awareness, and mental health issues. It was well received. The Hindi daily Dainik Jagran and Hindustan carried short story (5th Feb 2015) on the activities.
