Dear Accessindians, Hope you’re all doing well. I’m glad to share a snapshot of our very successful maiden IBSA sound ball lawn tennis (blind tennis) camp in Mumbai through the lens of our very capable Irish head coach Mr. Simon McFarland who while touring Mumbai, also been appointed the technical head of International Blind Tennis Association. His blog is very brisk but informative through pictures and videos. I hope you’ll have fun reading it. Also, in near future, under my supervision, an expansive evidence-based research will be launched to explore positive psychological and sociological impact of inclusive sports on disableds in partnership with a prestigious university. This will pave way in opening up recreational facilities for PWDs through a policy reform like we did in the case of accessible books in 2014. Do feel free to join in if you feel like playing the ball
Happy playing till then!
