The
future of a nation lies in the hands of its children. If the children are given
proper upbringing and an environment where they can blossom into beautiful,
talented individuals, they can help build a strong nation. But unfortunately, a
lot of young, budding talent goes wasted in our country, either due to lack of
resources or due to lack of proper guidance. To help such budding talents,
blossom in their full glory, Ravi Somani and his wife
have started Different Strokes NGO. The NGO is a noble endeavor to help children with special and economic needs.
Let’s discover further about the NGO and how it is contributing towards
strengthening the future of our nation.
Who
are children with special needs?
Every
child is special but children with special needs are little different. Kids
with special needs are the children who need extra help because of a medical, emotional, learning or
economic problem. These kids have special needs because they might need assistance,
medicine, therapy, or extra help in school. Stuff other kids don't typically
need or only need once in a while.
What
does Different Strokes do?
Proper
direction and guidance are important in every person’s life, but special
children are different. They require special approach to do well in life. Different strokes NGO, by Ravi Somani,
does exactly that-help children with special needs do well in life, by using
the following measures:
1.
By
helping economically and socially deprived, physically and mentally challenged
children, so that they become educated, skilled and aware.
2.
Enabling
children with special needs to be self-reliant and enjoy a healthy, dignified
and sustainable quality of life.
3.
By
working hand in hand with parents and other agencies-governmental and
non-governmental to build a better future for special children.
4.
Raising
funds through corporate partnerships, direct mailers, donation boxes, events,
press & electronic advertisement, appeals and greeting cards.
What
society can do to help special children?
It’s
the society that plays a major role in an individual’s life. Society can serve
as pillar to provide strong support to such children. Following things can be
done:
- Helping the children with Disabilities get a chance at life.
- Helping such children to overcome their set back in life.
- Helping them become a part of the society and not considering them as outsiders.
Children
with special needs can do well in life; all they need is correct guidance,
little care and most importantly oodles of love. Different Strokes NGO by
philanthropists, Ravi Somani and Mrs.
Somani, is a sincere effort to help special children and show them-We Care!
