This month, we ask you to join us in praying for individuals affected by disability living in India, as well as praying for the perceptions of disability to change in India. In Northwest India, most people have a Hindu background and believe that individuals with disability are cursed and have done something wrong in a previous life.
We partner with a great program in Northwest India called “Samvedna” that is helping change the perceptions of disability, and helping educate, support and serve families affected by disability. Many families are unaware of what a particular diagnosis means, or that the resources even exist for their child, so Samvedna is working hard to bring much-needed resources and services to these children and families.
Due to small facilities, Samvedna has typically done training and therapy service outdoors. But they have recently acquired a new space to be able to create an Early Intervention Center that is conducive for working with kids with special needs. For the month of May, we have featured a Global Project that will renovate and equip this new space and make it a great place for all the services that Samvedna provides.
