My mom's centre : V-Excel

I visited my mom's school today after a really long time. I really can't express how proud I feel of her every time I enter the place. For those of you who don't know what my mom does, she has started a centre called V- Excel for mentally disabled people, including people affected by autism, down's syndrome, mental retardation, learning disablilties, dyslexia and emotional and behaivioral disorders. Its just too beautiful. The school is so colourful and lively. She's helped hundreds of children and parents, and has given many 'disabled' children the oppurtunity to live a life of their own, to work and earn and sustain themselves. The need for such organizations in India is unimaginable. The organization has grown immensely since it was started in 2001 and still, there are innumerable people who need to be helped, who perhaps can not afford it, or who are unaware that there are services available to help them. (Website : www.v-excel.org)

The statistics are terrifying. About 91 out of every 10,000 people (almost 1%) are affected by autism, and this number has been rapidly growing. The cause for autism is not known for sure, though it is believed to have something to do with the levels of toxic substances such as lead and arsenic in the air, and there is no known cure, though autistic people can be helped with therapy and special methods of teaching. There is very little awareness of these disorders in today's society, and funding for autism research is minimal.

I respect my mother for the work she does, and I know that she is doing a huge service to mankind. I can only dream to be half the person she is. Probably, I will not enter special education, but during the course of my life, I hope that I too will be able to reach out and help at least a few people, in what ever way that I can.

Yes, it is indeed very noble of your mother. I know of a close family freind whose son is supposed to have autism...may be a mild one though. And its scary that anybody who comes into this world not 'usual' do not have the support system and context. The mark of a successful society is when it can take care of those who are not able to blend in.

I will try to find more about this school of your mom so that if I need to refer it to anybody, I know a bit about it.

I really liked this post, you have all the right thoughts. Keep the faith and if more and more people start thinking like you and your mom, things will be different for India in the future.
