This blog is about people with disabilities in and around Rourkela,a small town in Western Orissa, India. These children and adults with disABILITIES probably deserve a better deal from everyone of us and the society needs to be sensitive enough to meet their needs and demands as human beings and provide them their basic rights.

Presentation from YAI, New York
Mrs. & Mr. Rajmohan Mohunta of Rourkela are long time patrons of Home & Hope and have become special friends after their daughter Ms. Seema Moondra got involved in Young Adult Institute, New York. YAI previously helped us with video cassettes and their research publications in improving our own management strategies in training the intellectually disabled people in Home and Hope and the Production Centre. During the last visit of Ms. Moondra, she along with her son and daughter presented nearly 60 toys to the inmates of Home & Hope. YAI has gifted 144 base ball hats to the students of Home & Hope and the Mohuntas(Seema's parents) presented it after receiving the cart from YAI. We thank YAI & its Director Dr. Thomas Dern for their loving gesture.
