BPA---------

Under our one of the subject - Managing Social Projects, we are given opportunity to do project with some NGO. Me and my group mates choose to work with Blind People's Association. Yesterday we all went to visit the place. It was really a great experience. Under BPA, many workshops are run for disabled people to make them self sufficient. We saw these people weaving clothes, working in carpentery workshop, printing press workshop, electric workshop. Even these guys learn computer. BPA is really putting great efforts to help the society.

Blind People’s Association (BPA) is one of the largest organization in Asia working for all types of disabilities throughout India as well as abroad. Apart from Education they provide training, employment and placement, on the job training programmes, study centers, special education on disability. They are running a Physiotherapy school for the Blind and this is one and only one school in whole of the Asia. They have started many new centers for the disabled people in Gujarat, Eye hospital in Bareja and a Limb Fitting & Physiotherapy Center in Bhuj. BPA is providing consultancy to disability development organizations in Africa, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Nepal But need is to make awareness among localites. So we decided to prepare presentations for the BPA so that they can use it. Moreover we decided to redesign their annual report. Its just the beginning , we hope to cover more miles........................
