Mano Sankalpa Special School for Mentally Handicapped

Mano Sankalpa Special School starts 2011-2012 year with help of Future Kids

2011-07-14T08:50:00.000-07:00

Start of 2011-2012 is being good for Mano Sankalpa Special School as the management of Future Kids School, Banjara Hills, Hyderabad is kind enough to support it and instrumental in continuing the efforts when I thought to stop the services due to insufficient help. It is indeed great to see that Mano Sankalpa Special School is now able to provide transportation, Speech Therapy, Physio Therapy, music, Yoga etc valuable quality services to all it's special children inspite of miniscule contributions from the parents of the children. Mano Sankalpa would like to continue providing the services and serve more special children further. Mano Sankalpa is not getting any funding from any organizations, government and NGOs, any kind of help can only augment the special services it is providing for mentally challenged children.
