Awareness Programme in Haldwani

On 19 December 2009 a Parent Training-cum-Awareness programme sponsored by Christofer Blinden Mission, was held in Haldwani. Pre-programmes were held over a period of 6 months before this to identify families with special needs children/adults. The programme was held in the Forest Training Institute in Haldwani. The officers of the Institutetook keen interest in the programme and created a lot of interest among the people. Extensively coverd by all local newspapers, the programme was attended by 50 participants - parents and Anganwari workers. It was inaugurated by Mr. Sanjeev Arya, a dynamic and young leader of the Mandi Samiti. Mrs. Pushpa Arya, a well-known social worker chaired the event. Mrs. Singh spoke on the importance of parents getting together to work for the training and rehabilitation of the intellectually disabled in this part of the country as there are practically no services in the hills. The well-known paediatrician Dr Ajay Panday who was the Guest Speaker spoke about the importanceof identifying the symptoms of intellectual disabilities early. Some snapshots follow!
