Meet Ananya
The youngest student of "Arunodaya: Sunrise for Blind "
Ananya first came to a medical camp organized by the Ek Kadam Aur Foundation. Her grandmother wanted to consult with a doctor and find out if her blindness could be treated. To their disappointment, her blindness was irreversible. A lot of challenges awaited Ananya. She was timid and felt excluded from other children.
Ananya's
Journey
to School
Once Ananya joined Arunodaya: Sunrise for Blind program at the Ek Kadam Aur Foundation, a trainer was appointed for one-on-one classes at her home.
She insisted on continuing classes with her sighted peers after visiting the Government School in Panhar. The trainer is now teaching Ananya at the school premises under Dr. Kalpana's guidance.
" I feel so happy to see Ananya’s transformation from a timid little girl who was earlier dependent on her grandmother for everything to someone moving freely in school campus, eating on her own and playing with other children -- in such a short span of time! "
