Hi There, I'm Praveen

Hi There!!! I'm Praveen ! I come to the Ashayen Centre (The Spastics Centre, Kanpur) to spend time at the Sheltered Workshop, every day! Although I can't hear nor speak - I spend time making interesting products, as instructed to me by thetrainer! I can paint, colour, draw, arrange and do basic craft tasks well!

I need to be sponsored though, to be able to come to the Centre everyday for a long time. It is hard for my parents to bear all my expenses.

I love coming to the Centre. Do you know why? Because I feel at home here.

Saturday Healing Sessions

Dealing with Special Children requires a large amount of patience, care and concern. Our trained and qualified staff are very devoted to every child's overall development here. However, amid the hectic work processes and personal challenges it's easy to suddenly feel a sense of fatigue and tiredness sometimes. This Saturday, we had a small, wholesome Healing Therapy session for the staff. Conducted by a professional Healing Therapist, the trainer showed the staff simple ways to overcome everyday issues and improve their basic ability to deal with them. The staff benefited from the session. In an attempt to ensure there is consistency in this, we are now thinking of keeping regular Saturday Healing Sessions between 9:30 am and 11:00 am.
