Dear Supporters,

I met with Vishnu Soman a few weeks back at the Enable India office. Here, he spoke to me about the Tandav inclusive dance festival. It is a dance festival for children from various backgrounds (with Visual Impairment, Hearing Impairment, Low Vision, hard of hearing, Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Physical Disability, Down Syndrome and children from orphanages) to celebrate togetherness through dance. You would be proud to know that the event was a grand success. They setup a great campaign and took care of all aspects. A dance floor was setup with proper lighting and audio systems. Food, gifts and goodies were also provided and a vehicle was setup for their transport to and from the venue. The kids thoroughly enjoyed the show and true to his words, they celebrated togetherness through dance. Below are some pictures from the festival
