Every year 10 children are graduating from Opportunity School. In the community, the mentally challenged children are challenged while commuting to the working place, handling work pressures, adjusting to the unknown environment, and finding a job in the society. Very few girls are placed in sheltered homes. Girls are not provided with proper security in the working environment.
I have a burden to keep these children safe and find them jobs according to the intellectual quotient, ability and their interest. They long to earn their own living. It makes them happy, and improves their self esteem and confidence.
The Opportunity School motto is to lift and lead the children with affection and love. This will enrich them to do the work with perfection. The shelter workshop will lessen the burden of the parents and the financial burden too.
It is our ultimate aim to open a shelter workshop for boys and girls. This will bring ignition to their future life.
Hence I request kind hearted people to come forward to lend your property /Donate toward this sheltered workshop. It will be eye opening for the Mentally challenged adult.
