We, the members of ‘Disha Foundation’ wish to bring to your notice, the appeal for distributing school uniforms to SPECIAL children.
Annai Home:
Annai Home is a welfare and Rehabilitation Centre for the much-ignored section of the society - the mentally challenged. The home shelters nearly 54 mentally retarded(MR) children and 23 normal destitute children (NC) and 7 MR adults too. This school is being run by Annai Jothi Seva Trust with 5 trustees, 5 teaching staff and 8 non teaching staff. The normal children are sent to nearby schools for their studies.
In the year 2000, they started a school for differently-abled children. Each MR child is trained according to his/her abilities. The end result is astonishing. You have to see it in person to experience the change in the child. One visit to Annai home convinces you that every child here is a child, perhaps, not a child endowed with all the normal capabilities but still a CHILD. Annai home aims at making these special children contribute to the society. Even when the parents think the children cannot be of any help, the school, with patience develops the talents of these children. It drives to make the society accept the special children as they are.
It gives us immense pleasure to share with you the great news that the Trust has recently been awarded an appreciation from Tirunelveli district collector, for their service to the mentally retarded kids.

Although the school for mentally challenged children is being run by the home itself, they have planned to provide school uniforms to the kids with the notion that:
· The MR children will never undergo a feeling of discrimination from the normal children, when they look at normal children going to their school wearing school uniforms.
· A school uniform can reinforce an academic setting, instill a sense of discipline and a feeling of belonging.
· Students receive a self-esteem boost when wearing their uniform, which will have a positive effect on their work rate and achievement.
We have planned to provide three sets of school uniforms for each child. Please find below the cost details.
