ARUSHI-ENHANCING LIVES


Situated in an alley of shivaji nagar,quite close to our college, is a school, its not a normal school that you or me might have attended a few years back, but it’s a special school, a school for special children…......its called ARUSHI
Be it visually disabled children, or mentally challenged people, or those who need speech therapy, ARUSHI is trying to help them all. And as the authorities there would tell you, its not your sympathy that these children are looking for, not even the money, as many NGOs would need that, the children at ARUSHI are looking for your love and affection…one visit there and you will understand it all….
As you enter the gates of the school, looking at the floor (with trails for the blind), and the computer centre, the recording room, you will notice that this is a place for the under privileged that has got its share of financial aiding from the government and various other institutions and people. But when you meet the inmates, looking at their faces, the enthusiasm in their voices, the excitement in their actions, you realize how much cut-off do these children feel from the outer world…..
Once you talk to them, see their talents, gather their thoughts, you come to know that whatever monetary help they get, can never substitute the power of human love.
Just the simple act of asking them their name, listening to their songs, dancing with them, can work wonders in their day-to-day monotonous lives…….
Apart from this, there are other ways in which you can help the school, there is a recording room where scores of audio books are recorded everyday and help the blind students right from primary school to high school and even higher….they have got all the technology that is needed, its just the workforce that’s at a shortage……hope to see you there………….
The address is :
