On special occasions the handicapped and orphaned children perform plays and folk dances that they have rehearsed themselves. This is very unusual, particularly in India, because the disabled generally eke out a gloomy existence. They are frequently hidden from the public by their families. This makes it even more of a pleasure to see how neatly dressed and well fed those disabled cared for by Gandhi Kinderhilfe are, something which is not a matter of course in India. The home’s leader, Dr Manna, is responsible for their care and therapy and is available day and night for the disabled in our home.
