Compassion in action

Vidhi, one of the SCVP students, was paired with Jay. At first, she was unsure how to communicate with him, but within moments, a connection formed. Jay openly shared his journey — how he had seizures as a child, underwent brain surgery in London, and how his right arm and leg are shorter than his left, requiring him to carefully balance his weight. Yet, despite these challenges, he had discovered his passion for photography. Vidhi left with a powerful realisation: we should appreciate what we have and always approach others with kindness and understanding.

Then there was Radhika, a student from Sparsh—the embodiment of pure joy. She adored the colour pink, handed out endless hugs and high fives, and showered everyone with compliments. Her enthusiasm was infectious, lighting up the room and making everyone feel special.

Aarav spent the day with Viraj, who was in wheelchair but bowled impressively, proving that determination has no limits. They instantly bonded over their shared love for cricket, passionately supporting Team India.

Pari found a friend in Bhavik, who had once loved playing the piano but had to stop due to stiffening fingers. That did not stop him from thriving—he now enjoys making chocolates at Sparsh and playing football. Pari walked away with a beautiful lesson: challenges do not define people, they make them unique. It’s not a disability, but a different ability!
