The Cause – Adarsh Chartiable Trust

Cochin Twestival aims at supporting Adarsh Chartiable Trust. They lend more than a helping hand to children who have been diagnosed with brain-developmental-disorders such as Cerebral Palsy, Autism, learning disorders which in most cases forces the children to drop out of or never attend conventional schools at all. They have grown from a modest institute looking after 7 children to an inspirational one helping over 230 children from all communities. It is a work of great proportion, and the numbers involved can definitely be increased if we pitch in with support. Adarsh encourages children from the ages of 6 months to 12 years to be brought to their school for therapy and training, where they would be relegated to the care of trained therapists and medical consultants from various disciplines, and provided counseling. It does not end there – the children are also made to feel completely at home and equally like anyone else, by maintaining the atmosphere of a normal school, with uniforms, time-tables, assembly, competitions, excursions, etc.

The sponsors for the event are HOPE(Home of Perfect Education), ITnetInfoCom, Grand Palace Hotel Qatar and Centipair. Thanks a lot to the Sponsors for helping us move forward confidently to make Cochin Twestival a success.
